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 and gastroesophageal cancers.

Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to

  • Educate patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) on the importance of biomarker profile, tumor location, prior systemic therapy, symptomatology and personal goals of treatment in the selection and sequencing of therapy.
  • Appreciate published research documenting the efficacy of combined BRAF and EGFR inhibition for relapsed/refractory mCRC with BRAF V600E mutation, and understand how this approach is being optimally incorporated into patient care.
  • Evaluate available data with and the FDA approvals of various immune checkpoint inhibitor-based approaches for microsatellite instability-high or mismatch repair-deficient mCRC, and identify patients who may benefit from this form of therapy.
  • Recognize available data with anti-HER2 therapy for patients with HER2-positive mCRC, and consider the current and future role of various investigational approaches.
  • Assess the relevance of HER2 status, PD-L1 combined positive score, clinical factors and personal preferences in order to develop strategies for counseling patients with locally advanced or metastatic gastric or gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) cancer about personalized treatment recommendations.
  • Describe the published research data with immune checkpoint inhibitors alone or in combination with chemotherapy in the management of gastric/GEJ cancer, and optimally integrate these strategies into nonresearch treatment algorithms.
  • Recall the biological rationale for and available data with HER2-targeted therapy for patients with HER2-overexpressing gastric/gastroesophageal junction cancer, and discern the current and potential clinical applicability of available treatment strategies.
  • Recognize common and rare side effects associated with approved and investigational agents used in the care of patients with colorectal and gastroesophageal cancers, and apply this information to develop appropriate and effective supportive management plans.
  • Recall available and emerging data with investigational agents and strategies currently in clinical testing for colorectal and gastroesophageal cancers, and appropriately refer eligible patients for trial participation.
