Upper GI Cancers at ASCO 2026: A New HER2-Positive Standard, a Negative Dual-IO Trial, and Two Signals From Asia
By Dr. Ronan Hsieh
Upper GI cancers remain among the most lethal malignancies worldwide, and the treatment landscape has been evolving rapidly since the approvals of trastuzumab in HER2-positive disease and checkpoint inhibitors across the HER2-negative population.

Colorectal Cancer at ASCO 2026: When to Stop Immunotherapy, How to Use BRAF-Targeted Therapy, and Why Exercise Belongs in the Treatment Plan
By Stacey A. Cohen, MD
Before discussing any of the specific advances from ASCO 2026, the single most important principle in colorectal cancer is straightforward: test all patients for microsatellite instability (MSI).

Clinical Review of Cellular Therapies for Multiple Myeloma Part II: Toxicities of CAR-T for the Community and Rural Oncologist
By Adeel M Khan MD MPH MS; Aimaz Afrough, MD; Samer Al Hadidi, MD, MS; Sean Taasan, MD; Larry D Anderson Jr, MD, PhD
While ide-cel and cilta-cel are generally considered safe and have remarkable therapeutic impact for relapsed/refractory myeloma, both agents carry a broad and clinically significant toxicity burden that practitioners must recognize and actively surveil.

Multiple Myeloma and Plasma Cell Disorders in 2026: Bispecifics Move Earlier, MRD Guides Duration, and Amyloidosis Finally Has a Target
By Laahn Foster, MD
The data presented at ASCO 2026 provide more clarity on where bispecifics fit in the treatment sequence, how long to use them, and whether they can be used as an earlier intervention.

Next-Generation KRAS Inhibitors in NSCLC: A Pipeline So Active It's Hard to Keep Up
By Robert Chun-Hao Hsu, MD
KRAS was considered undruggable for decades. The protein's smooth, shallow surface offered no obvious pocket for small molecule binding. Its extremely high affinity for GTP/GDP made competitive inhibition impractical.

Small Cell Lung Cancer in 2026: A Field That Has Finally Started Moving
By Deepti Behl, MD
Platinum-etoposide served as the cornerstone of therapy, producing rapid responses that were often followed by equally rapid relapses, and few effective subsequent options.
