Gastrointestinal Malignancies

Gastrointestinal Malignancies Gastrointestinal (GI) cancers are common diseases worldwide. About 400,000 patients are diagnosed with esophageal cancer worldwide each year and nearly 330,000 die for this disease. Roughly 870,000 patients are newly diagnosed each year with gastric cancer and over 600,000 die from the disease each year. And 940,000 new cases of colorectal cancer are diagnosed annually and 490,000 patients die from this disease. Management options for patients with GI cancer have undergone dramatic changes in the past decade. New cytotoxic agents, novel targeted agents, surgical and ablative options, as well as a new array of supportative medications have shown substantial progr...

Immune Strategies for Gastrointestinal Cancer

This book provides an overview of the available evidence surrounding immunotherapy in gastrointestinal cancers, and discusses its future place in clinical practice. Immunotherapy has celebrated some astonishing therapeutic successes in a variety of cancer types and is becoming increasingly relevant in daily clinical practice. Currently, the predominant class of immunotherapeutic drugs is the so-called checkpoint inhibitors, which disengage the physiological brakes on the immune system, enabling a more effective anti-cancer immune response. Malignancies of the gastrointestinal tract, which account for the majority of cancer cases worldwide, are a major cause of morbidity and mortality, creating an urgent need for more effective therapies. A large number of clinical trials have evaluated the efficacy of cancer immunotherapy in gastrointestinal malignancies and demonstrated its potential in certain subsets of patients. This book will appeal to a wide readership, including oncologists, health care professionals in general and biomedical scientists.
