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 cancer.

  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 cancer.

  DESIRED LEARNING OUTCOME
  At the conclusion of this activity, the learner will be able to show objective and subjective awareness of the factors affecting patient selection for novel assays and agents in the field of colorectal cancer in order to educate and support patients and their families in decision-making and the patient journey as evidenced by self-reported change in knowledge level in the evaluation provided to learners at the completion of the activity.

  At the end of the activity, learners will also be able to

  • Develop an understanding of the clinical relevance of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) as a prognostic and predictive biomarker in colorectal cancer (CRC).
  • Recognize the scientific rationale for the use of ctDNA to detect molecular residual disease (MRD) in patients with CRC, and provide appropriate patient education.
  • Outline optimal approaches to and timing of ctDNA-based assessment of MRD for patients with CRC.
  • Appreciate available data documenting the clinical utility of ctDNA testing in risk stratification, surveillance and treatment decision-making for patients with CRC.
  • Consider the current and potential role of ctDNA assessment in order to counsel patients with early- and advanced-stage CRC regarding personalized treatment recommendations.
