This educational activity is specifically designed for medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, head and neck surgeons/otolaryngologists, and other healthcare professionals from the Latin American region interested and/or involved in the treatment of patients with head & neck cancer and colorectal cancer (CRC).
After successful completion of this educational activity, participants should be able to:
- Describe immunotherapeutic principles and the evolving role of immunotherapy for the management of cancer, including squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN) and metastatic CRC (mCRC)
- Apply multidisciplinary approaches for managing HPV+ and HPV-, locally advanced SCCHN
- Identify optimal treatment sequence for patients with recurrent/metastatic SCCHN
- Explain state-of-the-art management of mCRC, and role of biomarkers to guide personalized therapy
- Select optimal front-line therapy for individual patient with mCRC, including those with liver-only metastases and determine best treatment sequence after disease progression
This educational activity is supported by a grant from Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany.
