Systemic Therapy for Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

Sequencing therapy in the metastatic setting is challenging and requires that clinicians consider overlapping mechanisms of action and toxicity profiles when selecting among agents.  Clinicians need to be aware of the new data, new FDA approvals, and new changes in the guideline recommendations for metastatic colorectal cancer in order to choose appropriate systemic therapies, which is critical to ensure optimal treatment of patients.
