Abstract
Long et al.1 evaluated neoadjuvant (NAT) cadonilimab plus FLOT chemotherapy (ChT) in locally advanced gastric (G) and gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) adenocarcinoma, showing a pathological complete response (pCR) rate of 21.1% and an R0 resection rate of 100%. These findings align with other perioperative immunotherapy trials, although challenges remain in optimizing event-free survival (EFS).
期刊介绍:
Med is a flagship medical journal published monthly by Cell Press, the global publisher of trusted and authoritative science journals including Cell, Cancer Cell, and Cell Reports Medicine. Our mission is to advance clinical research and practice by providing a communication forum for the publication of clinical trial results, innovative observations from longitudinal cohorts, and pioneering discoveries about disease mechanisms. The journal also encourages thought-leadership discussions among biomedical researchers, physicians, and other health scientists and stakeholders. Our goal is to improve health worldwide sustainably and ethically.
Med publishes rigorously vetted original research and cutting-edge review and perspective articles on critical health issues globally and regionally. Our research section covers clinical case reports, first-in-human studies, large-scale clinical trials, population-based studies, as well as translational research work with the potential to change the course of medical research and improve clinical practice.
