Applying Precision Medicine in BRAF V600E–Mutant Metastatic Colorectal Cancer
STATEMENT OF NEED
Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death among men and women in the United States (ACS,2021). An estimated 149,500 new cases are diagnosed annually, and 52,980 people die of the disease (ACS, 2021). When detected and treated early at a localized stage, the 5-year survival rate is 90%. However, because colorectal cancer initially exhibits no symptoms and the use of routine screening is suboptimal, most patients are diagnosed at later stages (ACS, 2021).... |

Expert Perspectives on Practice-Changing Strategies for Improved Patient Outcomes in Multiple Myeloma - Part 1
STATEMENT OF NEED
Multiple myeloma is a B-cell neoplasm that occurs primarily in older adults. The incidence is expected to rise in conjunction with the aging population. Because symptoms often do not appear until the malignancy is in advanced stages, early diagnosis is difficult, and the 5-year relative survival rate remains only 54% (ACS, 2021). Following diagnosis, management must be guided by cytogenic markers with prognostic significance and correct staging based upon these markers (NC... |
