Program Overview

This program addresses the importance of comprehensive molecular testing in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) and outlines recent updates in clinical practice guideline recommendations for various molecular tests in mCRC. The program aims to bridge the gap in awareness of clinical trial data for approved targeted and immunotherapies for mCRC, as well as building knowledge of clinical trials that are currently assessing approved second-line treatments in the first-line setting. Additionally, the program is designed to increase awareness of pros and cons for different types of molecular testing available, including their associated sample requirements. Further program focus targets development of individual test strategies and the appreciation of individual practitioner roles as part of a molecular tumor board (MTB).

Target Audience

This educational activity is specifically designed for community oncologists, oncology nurses, and nurse practitioners.

Learning Objectives

Upon the completion of this program, attendees should be able to:

  • Recall clinical practice guideline recommendations for comprehensive molecular testing in mCRC
  • Apply understanding of the key clinical trial efficacy and safety data for recently approved targeted therapies and immunotherapies into clinical practice for mCRC, and summarize the emerging evidence for their use in earlier treatment settings
  • Describe molecular testing strategies for mCRC and the role of the molecular tumor board (MTB) in interpreting test results
