O Bryant, PharmD, BCOP, FCCP, FHOPA Professor, University of Colorado Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences Learning Objectives Describe the current use of chemotherapy and radiation in the treatment of esophagogastric cancers Interpret the use of targeted therapies and immunotherapy in the management of esophagogastric cancers Evaluate supportive care and survivorship interventions for patients with esophagogastric cancers Incidence of Esophagogastric Cancers Esophageal & Esophagogastric Junction (EGJ) Cancers US estimations for 2018 New cases 17,290 Deaths 15,850 More common Men > women > older age, heavy alcohol use, tobacco use Median age of diagnosis 68-years old Median 5-year survival 19.2% US estimations for 2018 New cases 26,240 Deaths 10,800 More common Men > women > in other races and ethnicities that non- Hispanic whites Median age of diagnosis 68-years old Median 5-year survival 31% SEER 18 2008-2014.
