Topics to Be Discussed

  • Optimizing the Identification of HER2-Positive Gastrointestinal Cancers
  • Current and Future Role of HER2-Targeted Therapy for HER2-Positive Gastroesophageal Tumors
  • Available Treatment Options for Patients with HER2-Positive Biliary Tract Cancers
  • Advances in Targeted Therapy for Patients with HER2-Positive Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

Target Audience
This activity is intended for medical oncologists, hematology-oncology fellows, surgeons and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of gastrointestinal (GI) cancers.

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

  • Appreciate the prevalence and relevance of HER2 amplification and overexpression in various GI cancers, and consider the implications for biomarker assessment and clinical management.
  • Evaluate available clinical trial findings with HER2-directed therapies for HER2-positive biliary tract cancers, and optimally incorporate available and recently approved agents into the care of appropriately selected patients.
  • Review published research findings with established HER2-targeted therapies for patients with HER2-positive gastroesophageal cancers, and assess the current role of various agents and regimens outside of a research setting.
  • Recall available data with HER2-targeted agents and strategies for previously treated HER2-overexpressing colorectal cancer, and optimally identify patients for whom these approaches may be appropriate.
  • Understand the biological rationale for and available clinical trial findings with novel HER2-directed bispecific antibodies for patients with HER2-positive GI cancers, and contemplate the current and potential utility of these agents in the management of various diseases.
  • Appraise the side effects associated with available HER2-directed therapies with established efficacy for GI cancers, and use this information to develop supportive care plans for patients undergoing treatment with these agents or regimens.
  • Recall the design of ongoing clinical trials evaluating HER2-directed agents and strategies for advanced HER2-positive GI cancers, and appropriately counsel patients about availability and participation.
