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.
