Episode # 85 • 13 Oct 2026
Perioperative Management in Upper GI Cancers
How do you choose between perioperative chemotherapy and trimodality therapy for a patient with localized upper GI cancer, and what has the newest data actually settled? On this episode of BackTable Tumor Board, host Dr. Kate Baker interviews Dr. Dani Castillo, a medical oncologist at City of Hope in Duarte, California, and Dr. Alexandra Gangi, a gastrointestinal surgical oncologist at Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles, about everything that happens between a new diagnosis and a resection in localized esophageal, gastroesophageal junction and gastric cancer. They cover diagnostic workup, Siewert classification, staging laparoscopy, histology, biomarker testing, surgical candidacy, and the challenges of nutrition and prehabilitation.
