• Educate patients with diverse hematologic cancers and solid tumors about the benefits and risks of new therapeutic agents and strategies.
• Apply an awareness of new datasets and the perspectives of tumor-specific clinical investigators to refine or validate current treatment algorithms.
• Evaluate the mechanisms of action, tolerability and efficacy of promising investigational agents, and consider the implications for clinical practice.
• Recall ongoing trials of therapies for select hematologic cancers and solid tumors, and appropriately refer patients for study participation.

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

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

• Appreciate the prevalence and clinical relevance of HER2 amplification/overexpression in various gastrointestinal (GI) cancers, and consider the implications for biomarker assessment and clinical management.
• Evaluate available clinical trial findings with HER2-directed therapies for HER2-positive biliary tract cancers, and optimally incorporate available agents into the care of appropriately selected patients.
• Review published research findings with established and investigational HER2-targeted therapies for patients with HER2-positive gastroesophageal cancers, and assess the current and future role of various agents and regimens.
• Recall available data with HER2-targeted agents and strategies for previously treated HER2-overexpressing colorectal cancer, and optimally identify patients who may be appropriate for these approaches.
• Appraise the side effects associated with available and investigational HER2-directed therapies with established efficacy in GI cancers, and use this information to develop supportive care plans for patients.
• Recall the design of ongoing clinical trials evaluating novel HER2-directed agents and strategies for advanced HER2-positive GI cancers, and appropriately counsel patients about availability and participation.
