This month, tune in on Facebook and Twitter as we share short video updates announcing new developments in our Gastric Cancer Registry at Stanford. Expanded Registry initiatives will be launched in 2018, including new collaborations with Intermountain Health, four states, and a major university in Korea, where gastric cancer is highly prevalent. These partnerships will help make this important resource more accessible to patients and researchers everywhere to bring us closer to a cure.

Watch this sneak peek from Hanlee Ji, MD, of Stanford University, about the outlook for the updated Registry.

Research Highlights for Gastric Cancer

There truly is A Cause for Hope with the number of new developments in treatments for gastric cancer patients being announced each month. In the past 30 days, experts on Oncology Live have discussed the growth of immunotherapy in gastric cancer and how international cooperation among specialists is crucial to the advancement of care for gastric cancer patients. Meanwhile, the Lancet has published a phase III randomized controlled trial evaluating the efficacy of the PD-1 inhibitor, Nivolumab, in patients with previously treated advanced gastric cancer. The finding found that Nivolumab improved overall survival compared with the placebo. And the first gastric cancer patient is receiving doses in the clinical trial collaboration evaluating Halozyme's PEGPH20 with anti-PDL1 immunotherapy.
