Emerging evidence supporting modern targeted strategies for the management of biliary tract cancers (BTC) and gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma (GEA) has led to the development of several agents to personalize therapy based on molecular findings. In this activity, our expert faculty will provide updates on evolving evidence-based practice standards and discuss how to effectively integrate the latest treatment advances into practice. You will learn to identify appropriate baseline diagnostic testing to inform the selection of targeted therapy for your patients with gastrointestinal cancers. Our experts will also introduce the latest evidence supporting relevant, novel strategies and explain when to initiate these agents in comparison with conventional treatment. Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Recognize current evidence supporting molecular testing, including HER2 expression, and its role in treatment selection for patients with HER2-positive GI cancers; Implement personalized treatment strategies based on molecular findings, current evidence and recommendations, and patient-specific factors when managing HER2-expressing GI cancers; and Apply practical strategies to manage and mitigate treatment-related AEs associated with HER2-targeting agents when managing BTC and GEA.
