Learning Objectives:

  1. Review the management of resectable gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma (GEA)

  2. Describe the use of immunotherapy in GEA and biomarkers predictive of response to PD-1 blockade

  3. Discuss a clinical trial investigating neoadjuvant pembrolizumab in cT1-2N0M0 resectable GEA

 

and

 

1. Discuss the T cell-inflamed and non-T cell-inflamed tumor phenotype as a framework for identifying mechanisms of immunotherapy resistance.

2. Identification of oncogene pathways associated with non-T cell-inflamed tumors and that mediate immune exclusion.
3. Investigate whether tumor-intrinsic hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF1-alpha) activation mediates T cell exclusion from the tumor microenvironment.
