Robot-assisted Versus Conventional Minimally Invasive Esophagectomy for Resectable Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma Early Results of a Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial: the RAMIE Trial

Yang Yang et al.

Summary: This study compared the outcomes of robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE) and conventional minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) in the treatment of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). The results showed that RAMIE had shorter operation time and better lymph node dissection in patients who received neoadjuvant therapy. RAMIE and MIE had similar rates of complications and postoperative complications.

Neoadjuvant Chemoradiotherapy Combined with Atezolizumab for Resectable Esophageal Adenocarcinoma: A Single-arm Phase II Feasibility Trial (PERFECT)

Tom van den Ende et al.

Summary: The study demonstrated the feasibility of combining nCRT with PD-L1 inhibition for patients with rEAC. Most patients proceeded to surgery after receiving all cycles of atezolizumab, and some experienced immune-related adverse events. Exploratory biomarker analysis suggested the potential of neoadjuvant immunotherapy in certain patient subgroups.

Preoperative pembrolizumab combined with chemoradiotherapy for oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma (PALACE-1)

Chengqiang Li et al.

Summary: This study investigated the safety and efficacy of preoperative pembrolizumab combined with chemoradiotherapy in resectable oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma patients. The results showed that this treatment was safe and induced a pathological complete response in 55.6% of the tumors.

Pathological response and survival with neoadjuvant therapy in melanoma: a pooled analysis from the International Neoadjuvant Melanoma Consortium (INMC)

Alexander M. Menzies et al.

Summary: A pooled analysis of neoadjuvant immunotherapy trials in melanoma revealed that the degree of pathological response is correlated with patient survival, serving as a potential surrogate marker for long-term outcomes. Patients with pathological complete response (pCR) after immunotherapy showed significantly improved recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) compared to those without pCR. Pathological response, particularly pCR, could be an early surrogate endpoint for clinical trials and a new benchmark for development and approval in melanoma.

SHR-1316, an anti-PD-L1 antibody, plus chemotherapy as the first-line treatment for advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma: A multicentre, phase 2 study

Lan Mu et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that SHR-1316 plus liposomal irinotecan and 5-fluorouracil shows promising efficacy and manageable safety profile as a first-line treatment for patients with advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). The median progression-free survival (PFS) was 8.5 months, with an objective response rate (ORR) of 52.2% and disease control rate (DCR) of 73.9%.

Early Use of High-Dose Glucocorticoid for the Management of irAE Is Associated with Poorer Survival in Patients with Advanced Melanoma Treated with Anti-PD-1 Monotherapy

Xue Bai et al.

Summary: A multicenter retrospective analysis found that early high-dose GCC use was associated with poorer survival outcomes in melanoma patients after anti-PD-1 monotherapy, highlighting the need for cautious use of GCC. These findings were validated in a combined validation cohort, confirming the association between high-dose GCC use and worse prognosis.

Effect of Camrelizumab vs Placebo Added to Chemotherapy on Survival and Progression-Free Survival in Patients With Advanced or Metastatic Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma: The ESCORT-1st Randomized Clinical Trial

Huiyan Luo et al.

Summary: The addition of camrelizumab to chemotherapy significantly improved overall survival and progression-free survival in patients with advanced or metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. This treatment strategy could enhance the overall survival rate of patients.
