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 colorectal and 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 colorectal and gastroesophageal cancers.

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Educate patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) regarding the importance of age, performance status, biomarker profile, primary tumor sidedness, prior systemic therapy, symptomatology and personal goals of treatment in the selection and sequencing of therapy.
    • Appreciate published research data documenting the efficacy of combined BRAF/EGFR inhibition for patients with relapsed/refractory mCRC and a BRAF V600E mutation, and understand how this regimen is being optimally incorporated into clinical care.
    • Assess the relevance of HER2 status, PD-L1 combined positive score, clinical factors and patient preferences in order to develop strategies to counsel individuals with locally advanced or metastatic gastric/gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) cancer regarding personalized treatment recommendations.
    • Recognize the recent FDA approval of trastuzumab deruxtecan for patients with locally advanced or metastatic HER2-positive gastric or GEJ adenocarcinoma who have received a prior trastuzumab-based regimen, and discern how this agent can be optimally integrated into nonresearch care algorithms.
    • Describe the published research data with immune checkpoint inhibitors alone or in combination with chemotherapy for gastric, esophageal or GEJ cancer, and optimally integrate these strategies into nonresearch treatment algorithms.
    • Consider the recent FDA approval of pembrolizumab in combination with chemotherapy for patients with locally advanced or metastatic esophageal or GEJ carcinoma who are not candidates for surgical resection or definitive chemoradiation therapy.
    • Recall available and emerging data with investigational agents and strategies currently in clinical testing for colorectal, gastric, esophageal and GEJ cancers, and refer appropriate patients for trial participation.
