This activity is supported by independent educational grants from AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals and Daiichi Sankyo, Inc.

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Genomic studies have identified human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) as the main oncogenic driving force behind some types of particularly aggressive metastatic cancers: breast cancer, gastrointestinal cancers (particularly gastric/gastroesophageal junction and colorectal), and even non-small cell lung cancer. HER2 appears to work in tandem with epidermal growth factor receptor family members, including the recently discovered HER3, in aggressive tumors with a poorer prognosis characterized frequently by treatment resistance. Fortunately, newly approved HER2-targeted treatment options work through varying mechanisms of action that may be able to obviate treatment resistance observed in older HER2-targeted pharmacologic agents. New and emerging treatments that target HER2 and HER3 may soon change standard of care for some types of HER2-driven cancers and will provide more highly personalized therapeutic options for patients with these types of metastatic cancer. This program will provide education on the prevalence of and outcomes in various cancers with HER2 alterations, HER2 testing recommendations, the role of HER3 in treatment resistance.

  • ELUCIDATE the mechanisms of action and clinical trial findings of recently approved and emerging HER2/HER3-targeted drugs for multiple tumor types
  • EXAMINE guideline recommended HER2 testing for patients with breast cancer, gastrointestinal cancers, and lung cancer
