Targeted Treatment Plans with Adverse Event Mitigation to Improve Outcomes in Patients with BRAF-Mutated mCRC

Program Overview

In this module, Rona Yaeger, MD, along with Scott Kopetz, MD, PhD, course chair, will first cover strategies for modulating toxicity of targeted therapies for BRAF V600E colorectal cancer (CRC). The expert faculty will discuss best practices for improving the therapeutic index to target non-V600 BRAF mutant CRC through a discussion-based format. Recent clinical trial data, including that of the BEACON Study, will be analyzed and clinical relevance debated. Upon completion of this 30-minute module, learners will better understand optimal strategies for creating targeted treatment plans for their colorectal cancer patients.
