Dr. Yelena Janjigian: The DESTINY-Gastric03 study confirms the therapeutic prospect of the T-DXd triple regimen in HER2-positive

The DESTINY-Gastric03 study (abstract number 14010), presented at the 2024 European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress (September 13-17, Barcelona), evaluated the efficacy and safety of T-DXd combined with FP and anti-PD-1 as first-line treatment for adenocarcinoma of the esophagus, stomach, or gastroesophageal junction (GEJA). At the conference site, we specially invited the Principal Investigator, Dr. Yelena Janjigian from Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in the United States, to be interviewed by us on site.
Dr. Aiming Pang: The “Tianjin Model” of Autologous Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation for Acute Leukemia

Dr. Aiming Pang: The “Tianjin Model” of Autologous Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation for Acute Leukemia

Autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (ASCT) is a treatment option for adult acute leukemia in remission. Compared to allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT), ASCT has advantages such as no donor restrictions, absence of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), and a lower transplant-related mortality rate. At the recent "4th Shanghai Symposium on the Clinical Application of Autologous Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation," Dr. Aimang Pang from the Institute of Hematology & Blood Diseases Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, delivered an insightful presentation on the "Tianjin Model" for ASCT in treating acute leukemia. The highlights of the presentation are summarized here for our readers.
