CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

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

  • Develop an understanding of the clinical relevance of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) as a prognostic and predictive biomarker in colorectal cancer (CRC), and recognize the rationale for its use in detecting molecular residual disease (MRD) in patients with this disease.
  • Outline optimal approaches for ctDNA-based assessment of MRD, and determine the appropriate timing of and platform for testing ctDNA status in patients with CRC.
  • Appreciate published datasets documenting the clinical utility of ctDNA testing in risk stratification, surveillance and treatment decision-making for patients with CRC, and consider the current and potential role of this strategy in personalizing treatment recommendations for localized and advanced disease.
  • Recall ongoing efforts examining ctDNA-based assays for clinical decision-making in different CRC settings, and appropriately refer patients for study participation.
