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 gastroesophageal cancers.
  
  LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Use HER2 status, PD-L1 combined positive score, clinical factors and patient preferences to personalize the selection of first-line therapy for patients with locally advanced or metastatic gastric, gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) and esophageal cancer.
  • Describe the published research data with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies alone or in combination with other systemic therapies for the management of gastric, GEJ and esophageal cancer, and optimally integrate these strategies into nonresearch treatment algorithms.
  • Optimally incorporate available therapeutic agents and regimens into the management of HER2-negative metastatic gastric, GEJ and esophageal cancer that has progressed on front-line therapy.
  • Appraise clinical trial findings supporting the use of adjuvant anti-PD-1 antibody therapy in patients with resected esophageal/GEJ cancer who have received neoadjuvant chemoradiation therapy and have residual pathologic disease, and discern the clinical applicability of this treatment strategy.
  • Recall available data with novel HER2-targeted agents and strategies for patients with newly diagnosed and previously treated HER2-overexpressing gastric/GEJ cancer, and optimally identify candidates who may be appropriate for these approaches.
  • Recognize common and rare side effects associated with approved and investigational agents used in the care of patients with gastroesophageal cancers, and apply this information to develop appropriate and effective supportive management plans.
  • Review the rationale for, available data with and ongoing research studies evaluating novel agents and strategies for patients with gastroesophageal cancers, and effectively prioritize clinical trial opportunities for eligible individuals.
