The document summarizes recent changes in integrating immunotherapy into clinical practice for gastrointestinal oncology over the past year. Key points include approval of pembrolizumab for mismatch repair deficient metastatic colorectal cancer based on trials showing efficacy. Trials also showed efficacy of nivolumab and pembrolizumab for gastroesophageal cancers, hepatocellular carcinoma, and anal squamous cell carcinoma. Ongoing research continues to explore incorporating immunotherapy for biliary tract malignancies and pancreatic cancer.
