Topics to Be Discussed

  • Overview of the incidence and prognosis of colorectal and gastroesophageal cancers; patient signs and symptoms at presentation and diagnostic/staging considerations; key patient- and disease-specific factors affecting patient care
  • Clinical and biologic factors affecting the sequencing of TAS-102 and regorafenib for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC); available data with and potential clinical role of TAS-102 in combination with bevacizumab
  • Management of mCRC with BRAF V600E mutations; activity and tolerability of BRAF/EGFR-inhibitor combination therapy; spectrum and optimal management of side effects
  • Research findings guiding the FDA approvals of nivolumab, pembrolizumab and nivolumab/ipilimumab for patients with microsatellite instability-high/mismatch repair-deficient mCRC; patient selection for anti-PD-1 monotherapy versus combined anti-PD-1/anti-CTLA-4 therapy
  • Patient and clinical factors affecting the selection of therapy for HER2-negative metastatic gastric or gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) cancer in the first-line setting; current role and optimal integration of immune checkpoint inhibitors alone or in combination with chemotherapy
  • Sequencing of available systemic therapy options for patients with metastatic gastric cancer who have experienced disease progression on first-line therapy; use of biomarkers and clinical factors to select treatment
  • Management of relapsed HER2-positive metastatic gastric/GEJ cancer: Effectiveness and incorporation of trastuzumab deruxtecan, pembrolizumab for patients with PD-L1 CPS ≥1, and common toxicities and side-effect mitigation
  • Newly approved agents: Mechanism of action, efficacy, and incidence, type and management of associated adverse events

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 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 data documenting the efficacy of combined BRAF and EGFR inhibition for patients with relapsed/refractory mCRC and a BRAF V600E mutation, and understand how this regimen is being optimally incorporated into clinical care.
  • Evaluate available data with and the FDA approvals of nivolumab, pembrolizumab and the combination of nivolumab/ipilimumab for microsatellite instability-high or mismatch repair-deficient mCRC, and identify patients for whom anti-PD-1-based therapy is appropriate.
  • 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 patient preferences in order to develop strategies to counsel individuals with locally advanced or metastatic gastric/gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) cancer regarding personalized treatment recommendations.
  • Describe 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 biologic rationale for and available data with trastuzumab deruxtecan for patients with previously treated HER2-overexpressing gastric/GEJ cancer, and discern the current and potential clinical applicability of this therapeutic strategy.
  • Consider recently presented clinical trial findings with anti-PD-1 antibodies as adjuvant therapy or as a component of first-line treatment for patients with esophageal cancer, and assess the potential role of these strategies.
  • Recall available and emerging data with investigational agents and strategies currently in clinical testing for colorectal and gastroesophageal cancers, and refer appropriate patients for trial participation.
