ForwardMCI Multispecialty Grand Rounds –Immune Checkpoint in Gastroesophageal Cancers: From Biomarkers to Bedside
Immune checkpoint inhibitors have transformed care for esophageal, gastroesophageal junction, and gastric cancers, yet their impact varies widely and continues to spark debate. This session examines the biological
underpinnings, emerging biomarkers, and nuances of clinical trial design that drive these differences in response across tumor types and patient populations. It also considers how these scientific insights can sharpen real-world therapeutic choices and support more precise, evidence-aligned decision-making.
Target Audience
Oncologists, Radiation Oncologists, Hematology Oncologists, Radiation Therapists, Endocrinologists, Pulmonologists, Otolaryngologists, Urologists, Colo -rectal Surgeons, Neurologists, General Surgeons, General Practitioners, Obstetricians and Gynecologists, Nurses, Pharmacists, Patient Navigators and all other interested healthcare professionals.
Learning Objectives
- Explain the biological and clinical foundations of immune checkpoint inhibition across the major gastroesophageal cancer subtypes.
- Evaluate and interpret predictive biomarkers—including PD-L1 CPS, MSI-H, and HER2—while recognizing their practical limitations and variability.
- Integrate evidence-based immunotherapy approaches into treatment planning for localized, metastatic, and refractory gastroesophageal cancers.
