ASCO GI 2024 | Advancements in oligometastatic GI cancer management

Nataliya V. Uboha, MD, PhD, University of Wisconsin Carbone Cancer Center, Madison, WI, emphasizes the need for data and clinical trials in the management of oligometastatic gastrointestinal (GI) cancers. She highlights significant advancements in both local regional therapies, such as ablation and stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SBRT), and systemic treatments. The incorporation of immunotherapy and upcoming use of new targeted agents like zolbetuximab show promise in controlling local and micrometastatic disease. Dr Uboha suggests that with improved systemic treatments and enhanced control of micrometastatic disease, a more aggressive approach to treating isolated metastatic sites becomes justifiable, considering the overall ability to address the systemic burden of disease. This interview took place at the 2024 ASCO Gastrointestinal (GI) Cancers Symposium in San Francisco, CA.
