    Symptom Burden and Healthcare Resource Use in Patients With Claudin 18.2-Positive, HER2-Negative, Locally Advanced Unresectable or Metastatic Gastric or Gastroesophageal Junction Adenocarcinoma: A Retrospective Review. (PubMed, Clin Med Insights Oncol)
    A mean of 3.4 outpatient visits per patient per month was reported (mean follow-up, 6.5 months), 21.0% of patients had an inpatient admission, and 35.5% had an emergency department visit. This study demonstrates substantial disease-related symptom burden and high HRU for patients with CLDN18.2+, HER2-, LA unresectable or mG/GEJ adenocarcinoma.

    Concordance of Circulating Tumor DNA, Primary and Metastatic Tissue DNA, and Immunohistochemistry in Gastroesophageal Carcinoma. (PubMed, JCO Precis Oncol)
    ctDNA testing demonstrates high concordance with tDNA and IHC and offers faster turnaround. Given its minimally invasive nature and strong concordance with tissue-based testing, ctDNA is a reliable tool for genomic profiling and longitudinal monitoring in GEC.

    Monitoring treatment response using an ultra-sensitive ctDNA assay in advanced esophagogastric cancer patients. (PubMed, Sci Rep)
    To explore whether ultra-sensitive circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) profiling enables earlier prediction of treatment response and detection of disease progression, we applied NeXT Personal, an ultra-sensitive bespoke tumor-informed liquid biopsy platform, to profile tumor samples from the KeyLargo study, a phase II trial in which metastatic esophagogastric cancer (mEGC) patients received capecitabine, oxaliplatin, and pembrolizumab. Molecular progression (ctDNA increase) preceded imaging-derived progression by a median lead time of 65 days. These results suggest that ultra-sensitive liquid biopsy approaches could improve treatment decision-making for mEGC patients receiving chemotherapy and immunotherapy.
