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 colorectal cancer.

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Develop a long-term plan to guide the selection and sequencing of therapy for patients diagnosed with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), considering biomarker profile, tumor location, prior systemic therapy, symptomatology and personal goals for treatment.
    • Appreciate published research data documenting the efficacy of combined BRAF/EGFR inhibition for patients with relapsed/refractory mCRC and a BRAF V600E mutation, and optimally incorporate this therapeutic strategy into patient care.
    • Evaluate available data with and the FDA approvals of nivolumab, pembrolizumab and the combination of nivolumab/ipilimumab for microsatellite instability-high or mismatch repair-deficient mCRC, and optimally select patients for treatment with anti-PD-1-based therapy.
    • Recognize available data with anti-HER2 therapy for patients with HER2-positive mCRC, and consider the current and future role of various investigational approaches.
    • Recall ongoing trials evaluating novel agents and strategies for CRC, and use this information to refer appropriate patients for study participation.
