The etiologies, molecular features, and therapeutic management of these cancer entities are highly heterogeneous and complex. Over the last decade, genomic and functional studies have provided unprecedented insights into the biology of digestive cancers, identifying genetic drivers of tumor progression and key interaction points of tumor cells with the immune system. This knowledge is continuously translated into novel treatment concepts and targets, which are dynamically reshaping the therapeutic landscape of these tumors. In this review, we provide a concise overview of the etiology and molecular pathology of the six most common cancers of the digestive system, including esophageal, gastric, biliary tract, pancreatic, hepatocellular, and colorectal cancers. We comprehensively describe the current stage-dependent pharmacological management of these malignancies, including chemo-, targeted, and immunotherapy. For each cancer entity, we provide an overview of recent therapeutic advancements and research progress. Finally, we describe how novel insights into tumor heterogeneity and immune evasion deepen our understanding of therapy resistance and provide an outlook on innovative therapeutic strategies that will shape the future management of digestive cancers, including CAR-T cell therapy, novel antibody-drug conjugates and targeted therapies. 000297961 536__ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF4-312$$a312 - Funktionelle und strukturelle Genomforschung (POF4-312)$$cPOF4-312$$fPOF IV$$x0 000297961 588__ $$aDataset connected to CrossRef, PubMed, , Journals: inrepo02.dkfz.de 000297961 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aHumans 000297961 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aImmunotherapy 000297961 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aDigestive System Neoplasms: therapy 000297961 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aDigestive System Neoplasms: genetics 000297961 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aDigestive System Neoplasms: pathology 000297961 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aDigestive System Neoplasms: immunology 000297961 7001_ $$0P:(DE-He78)68cbca3e3973d332ccc4c6e31a76b10c$$aBetge, Johannes$$b1$$eFirst author$$udkfz 000297961 7001_ $$aSchulte, Nadine$$b2 000297961 7001_ $$aDreikhausen, Lena$$b3 000297961 7001_ $$aHirth, Michael$$b4 000297961 7001_ $$aLi, Moying$$b5 000297961 7001_ $$aWeidner, Philip$$b6 000297961 7001_ $$aLeipertz, Antonia$$b7 000297961 7001_ $$aTeufel, Andreas$$b8 000297961 7001_ $$aEbert, Matthias P$$b9 000297961 773__ $$0PERI:(DE-600)2886872-9$$a10.1038/s41392-024-02097-4$$gVol. 10, no. 1, p. 24$$n1$$p24$$tSignal transduction and targeted therapy$$v10$$x2095-9907$$y2025 000297961 909CO $$ooai:inrepo02.dkfz.de:297961$$pVDB 000297961 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)2036810-0$$6P:(DE-He78)68cbca3e3973d332ccc4c6e31a76b10c$$aDeutsches Krebsforschungszentrum$$b1$$kDKFZ 000297961 9131_ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF4-312$$1G:(DE-HGF)POF4-310$$2G:(DE-HGF)POF4-300$$3G:(DE-HGF)POF4$$4G:(DE-HGF)POF$$aDE-HGF$$bGesundheit$$lKrebsforschung$$vFunktionelle und strukturelle Genomforschung$$x0 000297961 9141_ $$y2025 000297961 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0200$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bSCOPUS$$d2024-12-17 000297961 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0300$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bMedline$$d2024-12-17 000297961 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0501$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bDOAJ Seal$$d2024-04-10T15:44:53Z 000297961 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0500$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bDOAJ$$d2024-04-10T15:44:53Z 000297961 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0030$$2StatID$$aPeer Review$$bDOAJ : Anonymous peer review$$d2024-04-10T15:44:53Z 000297961 915__ $$0LIC:(DE-HGF)CCBYNV$$2V:(DE-HGF)$$aCreative Commons Attribution CC BY (No Version)$$bDOAJ$$d2024-04-10T15:44:53Z 000297961 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0199$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bClarivate Analytics Master Journal List$$d2024-12-17 000297961 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)1050$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bBIOSIS Previews$$d2024-12-17 000297961 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0160$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bEssential Science Indicators$$d2024-12-17 000297961 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)1190$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bBiological Abstracts$$d2024-12-17 000297961 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0113$$2StatID$$aWoS$$bScience Citation Index Expanded$$d2024-12-17 000297961 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0150$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bWeb of Science Core Collection$$d2024-12-17 000297961 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0100$$2StatID$$aJCR$$bSIGNAL TRANSDUCT TAR : 2022$$d2024-12-17 000297961 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)9930$$2StatID$$aIF >= 30$$bSIGNAL TRANSDUCT TAR : 2022$$d2024-12-17 000297961 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0561$$2StatID$$aArticle Processing Charges$$d2024-12-17 000297961 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0700$$2StatID$$aFees$$d2024-12-17 000297961 9201_ $$0I:(DE-He78)B440-20160331$$kB440$$lNWG-KKE Translationale Gastrointestinale Onkologie und präklinische Modelle$$x0 000297961 9200_ $$0I:(DE-He78)B440-20160331$$kB440$$lNWG-KKE Translationale Gastrointestinale Onkologie und präklinische Modelle$$x0 000297961 980__ $$ajournal 000297961 980__ $$aVDB 000297961 980__ $$aI:(DE-He78)B440-20160331 000297961 980__ $$aUNRESTRICTED
