TARGET AUDIENCE

Oncologists - medical, surgical, radiation; gastroenterologists, in addition to oncology nurses; NP/PA in oncology settings; oncology pharmacists

STATEMENT OF NEED/PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Novel investigational targeted therapies have shown encouraging results in patients with HER2+ metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). To ensure these therapies are used effectively, it is important to test for tumor HER2 status and recognize where HER2-directed treatment modalities fit into the current paradigm.

Join a panel of expert gastrointestinal oncologists to discuss selection of the most appropriate therapy based on tumor biomarker status, minimization of adverse events, and strategies to improve patient quality of life. Panelists will review practice-changing data on the efficacy and safety of new and emerging therapies, with a focus on HER2-directed therapies in the advanced setting and determining which treatments are appropriate for which patients.

EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES

After completing this activity, the participant should be better able to:

• Discuss HER2 testing and its significance for selecting therapy in the management of patients with mCRC
• Evaluate efficacy data from practice-changing clinical trials on new and emerging HER2-directed therapies for previously treated mCRC
• Outline adverse events associated with HER2-directed therapies and approaches to mitigate these effects
