April is Esophageal Cancer Awareness Month, a time to spotlight one of the most aggressive cancers worldwide. In this interview, Dr. Harry Yoon, Professor of Oncology at the Mayo Clinic and lead investigator of the RATIONALE-306 trial, discusses the recent FDA approval of tislelizumab as a first-line treatment for unresectable or metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC).
Dr. Yoon shares insights into the trial’s findings, which demonstrated significant survival benefits with tislelizumab, and highlights its unique role in combination with a taxane doublet. He also explores future directions in ESCC research, including immune checkpoint inhibitors, antibody-drug conjugates, and angiogenesis inhibitors.
