ASCO GI 2023 | The future of targeted therapies for advanced colorectal cancer

Kristen Ciombor, MD, Vanderbilt Health, Nashville, TN, provides an overview of advances in targeted therapies for advanced colorectal cancer. Current actionable targets include BRAF, HER2, RAS, and microsatellite instability (MSI) high, as well as rarer mutations such as NTRK. Recent studies have suggested moving targeted therapies to earlier lines of treatment, and the KEYNOTE-177 (NCT02563002) and CheckMate 142 (NCT02060188) trials have demonstrated the utility of immunotherapy in the first-line setting for MSI-high colorectal cancer. This interview took place at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) 2023 Gastrointestinal Cancers (GI) Symposium in San Francisco, CA.
