Would you add immunotherapy to FOLFOX if the patient is not a FLOT candidate for neoadjuvant gastric cancer, extrapolating data from the MATTERHORN study?
Answer from: Medical Oncologist at Academic Institution

We cannot draw the same conclusions about pathological complete response and overall survival with FOLFOX that we can with FL...
Thank you.
