Listen to a deep-dive into optimising treatment sequencing for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer, 3rd line and beyond, from Dr Jenny Seligmann and Dr Shubham Pant.

In the podcast, the experts discuss what clinicians should consider when making treatment decisions. You'll learn about

  • the potential treatment options for patients with advanced mCRC
  • the latest available data
  • which patient considerations are important when making treatment decisions

 

Clinical Takeaways

  • Molecular profiling has an important role in determining treatment options and sequence

  • Physicians should consider patient characteristics, such as comorbidities, toxicities from prior treatments, and overall performance status

  • Treatment from earlier lines of therapy is critical to treatment decisions in the 3rdline and beyond

  • There are a lot of new developments in the third-line treatment space for mCRC patients

  • Patients should receive as many treatment options as possible, and this should be considered during sequencing decisions
