Esophageal Cancer: Understanding

Esophageal Cancer: Overview

Esophageal cancer develops in the esophagus, which is the tube that connects throat to the stomach. Tumors arise in the mucosa, which is the inner lining of the esophagus. There are two types of esophageal cancer, each with different risk factors: Adenocarcinoma -Cancers that start in gland cells at the bottom of the esophagus are called adenocarcinomas. This type of cancer is the most common esophageal cancer. It usually occurs closer to the stomach. Chronic acid reflux, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), Barrett’s esophagus and chronic heartburn can increase the risk of developing adenocarcinoma esophageal cancer. Squamous Cell Carcinoma- This type of esophageal cancer arises from squamous cells that are primarily in the upper esophagus. Squamous cell tumors are associated with heavy alcohol consumption, smoking and organ transplants. Factors that can increase the risk of esophageal cancer include: Smoking, heavy alcohol consumption, chronic heartburn or acid reflux, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), barrett’s esophagus, a condition that sometimes develops in people with GERD and Achalasia, a rare disorder of muscles in the lower esophagus. Most esophageal cancer symptoms aren’t noticeable until the cancer is in an advanced stage when it may be hard to treat. Symptoms of esophageal cancer may be caused by other, more common conditions. The most common symptom of esophageal cancer is trouble swallowing, especially a feeling of food stuck in the chest. With some patients, choking on food also occurs. These symptoms gradually worsen over time, with an increase in pain when swallowing, as esophagus narrows from the growing cancer. If the person suffer from chronic heartburn or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), person would already be familiar with a pain that feels like burning in the middle of the chest. That painful sensation may become more noticeable when esophageal cancer develops. Developing a hoarse, scratchy voice or a cough that doesn’t go away can also indicate the presence of esophageal cancer. Esophageal cancer is often not diagnosed until it reaches advanced stages, so accuracy in the diagnosis and staging process is especially crucial for the best possible outcome. A gastroenterologist (a doctor who specializes in diseases of the digestive system) may be the first provider to recognize the signs of esophageal cancer. There are several types of tests to diagnose esophageal cancer. The most common tests are: Endoscopy with biopsy: Sometimes called an esophagogastroduodenoscopy or EGD, this is the most common test a doctor will perform to test for esophageal cancer. Endoscopic ultrasonography: If the biopsy results reveal cancer, doctor may order an endoscopic ultrasound (EUS). This is one of the most accurate imaging procedures for detecting esophageal cancer. Treatment for esophageal cancer is individualized to each patient’s unique needs. Treatment options include: Radiation therapy: The use of X-rays, gamma rays and charged particles to fight cancer, Chemotherapy: The use of anticancer drugs to treat cancerous cells and Surgery: The use of an operation to remove the cancerous tissue from the body.

Esophageal Cancer Emerging Drugs Chapters

This segment of the Esophageal Cancer report encloses its detailed analysis of various drugs in different stages of clinical development, including phase II, I, preclinical and Discovery. It also helps to understand clinical trial details, expressive pharmacological action, agreements and collaborations, and the latest news and press releases.

Esophageal Cancer Emerging Drugs

AN-0025: Adlai Nortye AN0025 is a clinical stage, potential first-in-class EP4 antagonist designed to modulate tumor microenvironment. It blocks the PGE2-EP4 signaling pathway to inhibit PGE2-mediated immunosuppression in the tumor microenvironment. Currently, the drug is in Phase I stage of Clinical trial evaluation for the treatment of EsophagealCancer.

Tucatinib: Seagen Tucatinib (TUKYSA®) is an oral medicine that is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor of the HER2 protein, a protein that contributes to cancer cell growth.HER2 is overexpressed in multiple cancers, including breast, colorectal, and gastric cancers. In preclinical in vitro studies, TUKYSA inhibited phosphorylation of HER2 and HER3, resulting in inhibition of downstream MAPK and AKT signaling and cell growth (proliferation), and showed anti-tumor activity in HER2-expressing tumor cells. In preclinical and clinical studies, TUKYSA inhibited the growth of HER2-expressing tumors. The combination of TUKYSA and the anti-HER2 antibody trastuzumab has also been shown to increase anti-tumor activity in vitro and in vivo compared to either medicine alone. Currently, the drug is in Phase II/III stage of Clinical trial evaluation for the treatment of EsophagealCancer.

APX 005M: Apexigen APX005M is a novel, humanized monoclonal antibody that stimulates the anti-tumor immune response. APX005M targets CD40, a co-stimulatory receptor that is essential for activating both innate and adaptive immune systems. Binding of APX005M to CD40 on antigen presenting cells (i.e., dendritic cells, monocytes and B-cells) initiates a multi-faceted immune response bringing multiple components of the immune system (e.g., T cells, macrophages) to work in concert against cancer. APX005M is currently in Phase 2 clinical development for the treatment of cancers such as pancreatic cancer, esophageal and gastroesophageal junction cancers, melanoma, non-small cell lung cancer, rectal cancer and sarcoma in various combinations with immunotherapy, chemotherapy, radiation therapy or a cancervaccine.
