Optimizing Biomarker Testing to Guide Treatment Selection for Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

Guest: Elizabeth Montgomery, MD
Guest: John L. Marshall, MD

This 1.0-credit activity provides oncology clinicians with practical insights into the importance of biomarker testing in patients diagnosed with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), optimizing biomarker testing procedures, and the role of biomarkers in guiding treatment selection. Case vignettes will provide the basis for expert faculty discussions that explore ways to address common barriers to biomarker testing, benefits of tissue versus liquid biopsy, when to test and why, and the use of biomarkers in prediction and prognosis. Finally, individualizing the treatment of mCRC based on molecular (eg, RAS, BRAF, MSI-high, HER2), patient (eg, comorbidities, age), and tumor (location, resectability) characteristics, as well as patient preferences (quality of life, treatment toxicities) will be discussed.
