Welcome to OncLive On Air®! I’m your host today, Riley Kandel.

OncLive On Air is a podcast from OncLive®, which provides oncology professionals with the resources and information they need to provide the best patient care. In both digital and print formats, OncLive covers every angle of oncology practice, from new technology to treatment advances to important regulatory decisions.

During Esophageal Cancer Awareness Month, OncLive® sat down with Peter Enzinger, MD, to discuss evolving standards and ongoing areas of uncertainty in the diagnosis and management of esophageal cancer.

In the exclusive interview, Enzinger highlighted common diagnostic and staging pitfalls in newly diagnosed disease; outlined the evolving role of surgery, chemoradiation, and multidisciplinary care; and reviewed emerging targeted therapeutic strategies shaping treatment decisions in esophageal and gastroesophageal cancers. He also discussed ongoing clinical trials of interest, including studies evaluating zanidatamab-hrii (Ziihera), pembrolizumab (Keytruda)–based nonoperative approaches, and novel combinations incorporating Claudin 18.2–targeted therapy.

Enzinger serves as director of the Center for Esophageal and Gastric Cancer, institute physician, and medical oncologist at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, as well as an associate professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School in Boston, Massachusetts.
