Topics to Be Discussed

  • Colorectal Cancer
  • Gastroesophageal Cancers
  • Hepatobiliary Cancers
  • Pancreatic Cancer
  • Neuroendocrine Tumors

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

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

  • Evaluate recently presented clinical research findings to determine their effect on the current care of patients with localized or metastatic gastrointestinal cancers.
  • Optimize adjuvant chemotherapy for patients with localized colorectal cancer (CRC), considering the influence of various clinical and biological factors such as age, performance status and stage.
  • Develop a long-term care plan for patients diagnosed with metastatic CRC, considering biomarker profile, tumor location, prior systemic therapy, symptomatology and personal goals of treatment.
  • Use HER2 status, PD-L1 combined positive score, claudin 18.2 expression and other clinical and biological factors to optimize the selection and sequencing of systemic therapy for patients with gastric, gastroesophageal junction and esophageal cancers.
  • Consider age, performance status, degree of liver function and other clinical factors in the selection of first- and later-line therapy for patients with unresectable or metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma.
  • Evaluate available data documenting the efficacy and safety of anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibody therapy in combination with chemotherapy as first-line treatment for advanced biliary tract cancers (BTCs), and consider the role of this therapeutic strategy.
  • Recognize the molecular heterogeneity of cholangiocarcinoma and other BTCs, and appreciate the biological rationale for efforts to exploit documented abnormalities in patients with these diseases.
  • Recall clinical trial data with approved and investigational systemic interventions for patients with metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma, and establish an evidence-based approach to treatment selection for this disease.
  • Appraise available and emerging data with investigational agents and strategies currently in testing for gastrointestinal cancers, and as applicable, refer eligible patients for clinical trial participation.
