CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

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

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Optimize the use of adjuvant chemotherapy for patients with localized colorectal cancer (CRC), considering clinical and biologic factors such as age, performance status and disease stage.
    • Develop a long-term plan to guide the selection and sequencing of therapy for patients diagnosed with metastatic CRC (mCRC), considering biomarker profile, tumor location, prior systemic therapy, symptomatology and personal goals for treatment.
    • Appreciate published research data documenting the efficacy of combined BRAF/EGFR inhibition for patients with relapsed/refractory mCRC and a BRAF V600E mutation, and optimally incorporate this therapeutic strategy into care.
    • Recognize available data with anti-HER2 therapy for patients with HER2-positive mCRC, and consider the current and future role of various investigational approaches.
    • Evaluate available data with and FDA approvals of immune checkpoint inhibitor therapies for microsatellite instability-high or mismatch repair-deficient mCRC, and optimally select patients for these approaches.
    • Apply available and emerging research to optimize the selection and sequencing of later-line therapeutic options for patients with multiregimen-relapsed mCRC.
    • Recall ongoing trials evaluating novel agents and strategies for CRC, and use this information to refer appropriate patients for study participation.
