Agenda

Each 1-hour session will be divided into topic modules focused on current management, emerging research and novel agents and strategies under active investigation for colorectal cancer. Each event will employ an identical format that will include the following elements:

  • Moderator Dr Neil Love and a featured participating clinical investigator
  • Discussion of participating faculty treatment recommendations
  • Review of available clinical research findings
  • Community oncologist video case presentations
  • Interactive audience polling and extensive Q&A

    MODULE 1: Current and Future Role of Therapies Targeting BRAF and HER2 in Metastatic Colorectal Cancer (mCRC)

    MODULE 2: Integration of Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors into the Management of mCRC

    MODULE 3: Selection and Sequencing of Therapy for Patients with Multiregimen-Relapsed mCRC

    MODULE 4: Other Considerations in the Management of CRC; Promising Investigational Strategies

Target Audience
This program is intended for medical oncologists, hematologists, hematology-oncology fellows, radiation oncologists and other allied healthcare professionals involved in the treatment of colorectal cancer.

Learning Objectives

  • Optimize the use of adjuvant chemotherapy for patients with localized colorectal cancer (CRC), considering the influence of various clinical and biologic factors (eg, age, performance status, stage).
  • Develop a long-term plan to guide the selection and sequencing of therapies for individuals diagnosed with metastatic CRC (mCRC), considering the patient’s biomarker profile, tumor location, prior systemic therapy, symptomatology and personal goals of 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 the care of appropriate individuals.
  • Recognize available data with anti-HER2 therapy for HER2-positive mCRC, and consider the current and future role of various approaches.
  • Evaluate available data with and FDA approvals of immune checkpoint inhibitor therapies for microsatellite instability-high or mismatch repair-deficient CRC, and optimally select patients for treatment with these approaches.
  • Apply available research to optimize the selection and sequencing of later-line therapeutic options for patients with multiply relapsed mCRC.
  • Recall ongoing trials evaluating novel agents and strategies for patients with CRC, and use this information to refer appropriate individuals for study participation.
