State‐of‐the‐Art Approaches for Biomarker Testing and Management of HER2+ mCRC
Jointly provided by Partners for Advancing Clinical Education (PACE) and PlatformQ Health Education, LLC, in collaboration with the Colorectal Cancer Alliance (CCA).ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
This activity is supported by an independent medical education grant from Seagen.DATE OF RELEASE/EXPIRATION
Friday, December 8th, 2023 from 12pm-1pmETTARGET AUDIENCE
The educational design of this activity addresses the needs of – GI oncologists, medical oncologists, physician assistants, pathologists, oncology nurses, and other HCPs involved in the care of patients with colorectal cancerSTATEMENT OF NEED/PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer in men and women and the second leading cause of cancer death in the US. With new therapeutic targets, such as HER2, emerging in mCRC, it can be difficult to stay up to date with the most recent literature, recommendations, and best practices regarding when to test for HER2 in CRC, which test to use, and when to use anti‐HER2 treatment. In addition, new FDA‐approved indications for regimens in HER2+ mCRC require appropriate application of the evidence on anti‐HER2 agents.
Join a panel of experts to discuss the optimization of HER2+ mCRC therapy and HER2 testing benefits and limitations. The panel will also discuss variations in testing and the need to stay up to date with the literature as new and emerging clinical trials continue to change the landscape of HER2+ mCRC treatment.EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES
After completing this activity, the participant should be better able to:- Apply guideline‐based recommendations for sequencing and selecting appropriate testing modalities for HER2 in mCRC, based on the clinical situation
- Discuss the current anti‐HER2 treatments available for use, appropriate sequencing of therapy in HER2+ mCRC, and monitoring and management of adverse effects Implement evidence-based interventions to increase CRC screening rates, especially in younger adults and underserved populations
