Achieving Precision Care in Gastrointestinal Cancers

Overview / Abstract:	Treatment selection is largely dependent on the goals of therapy; however, sequencing of standard therapies with newly approved therapies as patients’ progress is a key factor in improving quality of care. The recent approval of new agents and advances in biomarker detection have supported the individualization of treatment and subsequent improvements in survival for patients with gastrointestinal cancers. As new agents are expected to enter the treatment paradigm in 2017, clinicians will require guidance on how to best integrate these agents and navigate reimbursement and quality requirements of new payment models. Important practice-changing studies reported at ASCO 2017 will also be addressed, with a focus on metastatic colon cancer, unresectable hepatocellular cancer, and gastric/pancreatic cancer.
