GI cancers in 2010: New standards and a predictive biomarker for adjuvant therapy

Manish R Sharma et al. Nat Rev Clin Oncol. 2011 Feb.

Abstract

Randomized phase III trials have established new standards of care for advanced biliary cancer, HER2-positive advanced gastric or gastro-esophageal junction cancer, and preliminarily, for metastatic pancreatic cancer. There is now a validated predictive biomarker to guide use of adjuvant chemotherapy in patients with stage II colon cancer.
