Abstract

Despite promising results following implementation of neoadjuvant chemoradiation (nCRT) prior to surgery in resectable esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) (van Hagen et al., NEJM, 2012) and the introduction of adjuvant nivolumab in case of incomplete response (Kelly et al., NEJM, 2021), prognosis remains dismal. Many patients eventually develop metastatic disease, and there is an unmet need to improve current therapies. In 15% to 43% of EAC cases, overexpression and/or gene amplification of the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) is observed.
