CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

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

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Develop an understanding of validated and emerging biomarkers of response, such as RAS, BRAF, HER2, microsatellite instability/mismatch repair status and KRAS G12, found in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), and consider the implications for molecular testing and clinical care.
    • Formulate a long-term plan to guide the selection and sequencing of therapy for patients diagnosed with relapsed/refractory (R/R) mCRC, considering their biomarker profile, prior systemic therapy, symptomatology and personal goals of treatment.
    • Appreciate published research documenting the efficacy of combined BRAF/EGFR inhibition for patients with R/R mCRC and BRAF V600E mutations, and optimally incorporate this therapeutic strategy into clinical care.
    • Recognize available data with HER2-targeted therapy for patients with HER2-positive mCRC, and consider the current and future roles of FDA-approved and investigational approaches.
    • Appraise published research establishing the effectiveness of rechallenge with EGFR antibody therapy, and determine which patients are likely to benefit from this therapeutic maneuver.
    • Apply available and emerging research to optimize the selection and sequencing of later-line therapeutic options for patients with multiregimen-relapsed mCRC, considering the implications of recently presented Phase III clinical trial findings.
    • Recall ongoing trials evaluating novel agents and strategies for mCRC, and use this information to appropriately refer patients for study participation.
