Results of several clinical studies were reported by oncology professionals at the fifth Gastrointestinal Cancers Symposium, an important international meeting co‐sponsored by the American Society of Clinical Oncology, the American Gastroenterological Association, the American Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology, and the Society for Surgical Oncology.
