Defining Personalized Care Plans in Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

Access Activity

Overview / Abstract:

STATEMENT OF NEED

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third leading cause of cancer death among men and women in the United States. An estimated 145,600 new cases are diagnosed annually and 51,020 people die of the disease. When detected and treated early at a localized stage, the 5-year survival rate is 90%. However, because CRC initially exhibits no symptoms and the use of routine screening is suboptimal, most patients are diagnosed at later stages. Approximately 21% of patients present with metastatic disease, which is associated with a 5-year survival rate of only 14%.

TARGET AUDIENCE

Medical oncologists, gastroenterologists, oncology advanced practitioners, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with CRC.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:

1.) Distinguish prognostic factors that can help tailor treatment to individual patients with metastatic CRC
2.) Evaluate recent study findings on novel therapies for newly diagnosed and relapsed/refractory metastatic CRC
3.) Assess strategies to optimize treatment experiences and ensure patient-centered metastatic CRC care
