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) regarding the impact of biomarker profile, tumor location, prior systemic therapy, symptomatology and personal goals of treatment on the selection and sequencing of therapy.
• Appreciate published research data documenting the efficacy of combined BRAF/EGFR inhibition for patients with relapsed/refractory mCRC and a BRAF V600E mutation, and understand how this approach is being optimally incorporated into the current care of appropriate patients.
• 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 individuals for treatment with this form of therapy.
• Recognize available data with anti-HER2 therapy in 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 patient preferences in order to develop strategies to counsel individuals with locally advanced or metastatic gastric/gastroesophageal junction cancer regarding personalized treatment recommendations.
• Describe the published research data with the use of immune checkpoint inhibitors alone or in combination with chemotherapy in the management of gastric/gastroesophageal junction cancer, and optimally integrate these strategies into nonprotocol treatment algorithms.
• Recall the biologic rationale for and available data with the use of HER2 targeted therapy for patients with HER2 overexpressing gastric/gastroesophageal junction cancer and discern the current and potential future 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, where applicable, refer eligible patients for trial participation.
