Advancing Esophageal Cancer Treatment

Advancing Esophageal Cancer Treatment

Professor Florian Lordick played a key role in the ESOPEC trial, a landmark phase 3, multicenter, randomized study published in The New England Journal of Medicine. This trial directly compared perioperative chemotherapy with FLOT (fluorouracil, leucovorin, oxaliplatin, and docetaxel) to preoperative chemoradiotherapy (carboplatin, paclitaxel, and radiotherapy) in patients with resectable esophageal adenocarcinoma, aiming to determine the optimal multimodal treatment approach.
Consensus Best Practices for Neoadjuvant Therapy in Pancreatic Cancer

Consensus Best Practices for Neoadjuvant Therapy in Pancreatic Cancer

A panel of 47 North American experts has developed 82 consensus best practices for delivering neoadjuvant therapy in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, using a modified Delphi process to standardize and optimize care. This effort aims to improve treatment approaches, reduce variability in care, and enhance patient outcomes. The study outlines best practices across the entire neoadjuvant therapy continuum, including pre-treatment evaluation, therapy initiation, restaging protocols, management of complications, surgical decision-making, pathology assessment, and follow-up. These guidelines establish a comprehensive framework for delivering neoadjuvant therapy in a way that ensures consistency across multiple disciplines, including oncology, radiology, surgery, pathology, and supportive care.
