Sharing our work in the spatial biology of HER2+ gastric cancer @GUTJournal_BMJ. Figuring out and targeting the tumor microenvironment is an exciting time for cancer therapeutics. @FilippoPietran4 @josephjzhao @KoheiShitara gut.bmj.com/content/earl...

Spatial profiling of patient-matched HER2 positive gastric cancer reveals resistance mechanisms to targeted therapy
Background Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2; ERBB2 ) is overexpressed or amplified in 15–20% of gastric cancers (HER2+ GC). Within individual HER2+ GCs, HER2/ ERBB2 expression is often v...

Excited to be in Chicago for #AACR25! Feels a little surreal to be at McCormick but not for ASCO! Looking forward to listening to some amazing science and breakthroughs in cancer biology and therapeutics. @KlempnerSam @josephjzhao

Just published @JAMAJournal with Samuel Klempner and Jeeyun Lee. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam... Our Editorial on GEMSTONE-303 with sugemalimab and chemo. Key takeaway: PD-L1 inhibition shows similar efficacy to PD-1. More options for patients, but no clear advantage over existing treatments.

PD-1 or PD-L1 as First-Line Treatment of Metastatic Gastroesophageal Cancer
In the current issue of JAMA, Zhang and colleagues1 describe the role of sugemalimab—an anti–programmed death-ligand 1 (anti–PD-L1) monoclonal antibody—in combination with chemotherapy for first-line ...
