Dr. Lawrence Leichman, AGICC Director, Writes Editorial on GI Oncology in the Journal of Clinical Oncology

Lawrence P. Leichman, MD, FACP, Director of the Aptium Oncology GI Cancer Consortium (AGICC) and an oncologist at the Comprehensive Cancer at Desert Regional Hospital in Palm Springs, CA, recently wrote an editorial titled 'On Target? Off Target? Why We Really Do Not Know' for the Journal of Clinical Oncology, ASCO's official publication.

The article states that despite great strides in improving survival and cure rates in gastrointestinal cancers, combining cytotoxic and targeted agents against GI malignancies is cautionary at best.
