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

OVERVIEW OF ACTIVITY
Cancer of the colon or rectum is the fourth most frequently diagnosed cancer and the second most common cause of death among all neoplasms in the United States. In the year 2018, it is estimated that 140,250 people will be diagnosed with colon or rectal cancer in the United States, representing a continued decline over the past few decades thought to be related to improvements in detection and treatment.

Published results from ongoing trials continually lead to the emergence of new therapeutic targets and regimens, thereby altering management algorithms, and in order to offer optimal patient care, including the option of clinical trial participation, the practicing medical oncologist must be well informed of these advances. To bridge the gap between research and patient care, Colorectal Cancer Update uses one-on-one discussion with leading gastrointestinal oncology investigators. By providing access to the latest scientific developments and the perspectives of experts in the field, this CME activity assists medical oncologists with the formulation of up-to-date management strategies.
