CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

  • TARGET AUDIENCE
    This activity is intended for medical oncologists, nurses, radiology oncologists, colorectal and general surgeons and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of gastrointestinal cancers.

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Optimize the use of adjuvant chemotherapy for patients with localized colorectal cancer (CRC), considering various clinical and biological factors such as age, performance status and stage.
    • Develop a long-term care plan for patients diagnosed with metastatic CRC, considering biomarker profile, tumor location, prior systemic therapy, symptomatology and personal goals of treatment.
    • Use HER2 status, PD-L1 combined positive score and other clinical and biological factors to optimize the selection and sequence of systemic therapy for patients with gastric, gastroesophageal junction or esophageal cancer.
    • Consider age, performance status, degree of liver function and other clinical factors in the selection of first- and later-line therapy for patients with unresectable or metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma.
    • Evaluate available data documenting the efficacy and safety of anti-PD-L1 antibody therapy in combination with chemotherapy as first-line treatment for advanced biliary tract cancers (BTCs), and consider the role of this therapeutic strategy.
    • Recognize the molecular heterogeneity of cholangiocarcinoma and other BTCs, and appreciate the biological rationale for efforts to exploit documented abnormalities in patients with these diseases.
    • Recall clinical trial data with approved and investigational systemic interventions for patients with metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma, and establish an evidence-based approach to therapeutic selection.
    • Appraise available and emerging data with investigational agents currently in clinical testing for gastrointestinal cancers, and appropriately refer eligible patients for clinical trial participation.
