Teaching methods include lecture and Q&A with faculty via messaging and audience response system. Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in North America. National guidelines for screening have recently changed, as have the indications for referral for hereditary counselling and germline testing. While circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) assays are widely available and reimbursed by private and public payers, there is a lack of knowledge in when to offer them and how they should guide therapy for early stage and advanced disease. For early stage cancers, there is new data to support less intensive systemic chemotherapy and organ-sparing “watch and wait” loco regional therapy. For patients with advanced colorectal cancer, there is new randomized evidence describing the benefit of HIPEC and cyto-reductive surgery. Attendees will engage with these new developments as well as with “prehabilitation” strategies to optimize fitness of fragile patients for colorectal surgery. The course will also address management strategies for minimally invasive, trans-anal surgery, and who to test and how to follow up in the context of hereditary colorectal cancer. These educational needs span the continuum of primary care, prevention and complex multidisciplinary care. Teaching methods include lecture, question and answer with faculty, case presentation, and case discussion with audience response system.   Visit the CME Course Webpage ›     Instructors: Course Directors: Hagen F.
