overview

BRAF mutations in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) can present unique challenges in treatment and patient care, but also can be targets for therapy. This symposium aims to enhance participants' abilities to tailor molecular-guided treatment for patients with BRAF V600E-mutated mCRC. Expert speakers will provide practical insights for optimizing patient care, supported by the latest evidence from both clinical trials and real-world studies. The panel will cover best practices for biomarker testing, and will explore different therapeutic strategies, focusing on personalizing treatment approaches for optimal outcomes. This live event will also highlight the importance of multidisciplinary collaboration in delivering comprehensive, patient-centered care, ultimately improving the management and quality of life for patients with BRAF V600E-mutated mCRC.


IMPORTANT INFO

This symposium will be offered in person or virtually. If you are planning to attend in person, you must be a registered attendee of ESMO Gastrointestinal Cancers Congress 2025 in order to participate.
