Treatment options are limited for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer who have microsatellite-stable disease, which renders them ineligible for immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy. In a cohort of the COSMIC-021 trial, a team of researchers led by Dr. Thomas Abrams, Assistant Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School, investigated the efficacy of cabozantinib plus atezolizumab for this patient population. Dr. Abrams recently presented the trial's results at the 2022 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Gastrointestinal Cancers Symposium. In this interview, he discusses the role that cabozantinib/atezolizumab may play for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer, particularly those with RAS wild-type disease, in the coming years.
On World Cancer Research Day, Dr. Thomas Abrams, Assistant Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School and the new Editor in Chief of Oncology Data Advisor, discusses his career as a gastrointestinal cancer researcher, the recent advancements that have been made, and the progress that is on the horizon in this field.

The FDA has granted approval to nivolumab (Opdivo®, Bristol Myers Squibb) for patients with completely resected esophageal or gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) cancer who have residual pathologic disease after prior neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy. "No adjuvant treatment has been established for patients who remain at high risk for recurrence after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy and surgery for esophageal or gastroesophageal junction cancer," wrote the investigators of the phase 3 CheckMate 577 trial...
