CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

  • TARGET AUDIENCE
    This program is intended for medical oncologists, hematology-oncology fellows and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of colorectal cancer.

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Optimize the use of adjuvant chemotherapy for patients with localized colorectal cancer (CRC), considering the influence of various clinical and biological factors, such as age, performance status and stage, and the potential relevance of molecular residual disease.
    • Develop an understanding of validated biomarkers of response found in patients with metastatic CRC (mCRC), such as RAS, BRAF, HER2 and microsatellite instability/mismatch repair deficiency, and consider the implications for molecular testing and clinical care.
    • Evaluate available data with immune checkpoint inhibitor therapies for microsatellite instability-high/mismatch repair-deficient mCRC, and optimally select patients for treatment with these approaches.
    • Recognize available data with HER2-targeted therapies for patients with HER2-positive mCRC, and consider the current and future role of these approaches.
    • Develop an understanding of available trial findings with novel small-molecule inhibitors of KRAS G12C in combination with anti-EGFR monoclonal antibody therapy for patients with previously treated mCRC harboring a KRAS G12C mutation to determine the applicability of this strategy in clinical practice.
    • Apply available research to optimize the selection and sequencing of later-line therapeutic options for patients with relapsed/refractory mCRC, considering the implications of recently approved agents and regimens.
    • Recall ongoing trials evaluating novel agents and strategies for patients with mCRC, and use this information to refer candidates for study participation.
