  • Overview

    Join our international multidisciplinary panel of experts in a deep dive into the nuances and next phases of care for patients with gastric/gastroesophageal junction (G/GEJ) cancers. Through engaging presentations and discussions, the panel will address key aspects of patient management including optimizing biopsies, implications of HER2 testing results on treatment, and future directions in second-line therapy for HER2-positive G/GEJ cancers.

    After participating in this educational activity, participants should be better able to:

    1. Collaborate with pathologists to recognize the clinical implications of HER2 heterogeneity in gastric/gastroesophageal junction (G/GEJ) cancer
    2. Collaboratively employ biomarker-based testing to improve personalization of therapy in advanced G/GEJ cancer
    3. Compare and contrast clinical trial successes and failures in the second-line treatment of advanced HER2-positive G/GEJ cancer
    4. Identify patients eligible for HER2-directed therapies that offer both improved survival outcomes and quality of life in the second-line treatment of advanced HER2-positive G/GEJ cancer
    5. Assess the current and potential future standard of care of advanced HER2-positive G/GEJ cancer in the second-line setting, including HER2-low amplification
    6. Recognize the role of emerging therapies in earlier lines of treatment for HER2-positive G/GEJ cancer
