CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

• TARGET AUDIENCE
  This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of oncology nurses, nurse practitioners and clinical nurse specialists involved in the treatment of gastroesophageal cancers.
  
  PURPOSE STATEMENT
  By providing information on the latest research developments in the context of expert perspectives, this NCPD activity will assist oncology nurses, nurse practitioners and clinical nurse specialists with the formulation of state-of-the-art clinical management strategies to facilitate optimal care of patients with gastroesophageal cancers.
  
  LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Understand validated biomarkers of response (eg, micro-satellite instability (MSI]/mismatch repair [MMR] deficiency, HER2 overexpression, PD-L1 combined positive score, CLDN18.2 expression) found in patients with gastric, gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) and esophageal cancers, and consider the implications for molecular testing and clinical care.
  • Appreciate the influence of various clinical and biological factors, such as histology, age, performance status and MSI/MMR status, on the use of neoadjuvant and adjuvant systemic therapy for patients with resectable gastric, GEJ and esophageal cancers.
  • Describe published research data with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies alone or in combination with other systemic therapies for metastatic gastric, GEJ and esophageal cancer in order to counsel patients regarding appropriate nonresearch treatment approaches.
  • Assess available data with monoclonal antibodies directed at CLDN18.2 in combination with chemotherapy as first-line treatment for CLDN18.2-positive gastric or GEJ cancer, and educate eligible patients about this novel strategy.
  • Understand how available HER2-targeted agents can be optimally incorporated into the management of HER2-positive metastatic gastroesophageal cancers.
