Archived Monthly Oncology Tumor Boards: Treatment of Deficient Mismatch Repair or Microsatellite Instability-High (dMMR/MSI-H) Colorectal Cancer

As the clinical understanding of biomarkers in colorectal cancer has deepened, it has become increasingly clear that deficient mismatch repair or microsatellite instability-high (dMMR/MSI-H) colorectal cancer should be treated differently from proficient mismatch repair or microsatellite stable (pMMR/MSS) disease in order to reach the best possible outcomes for patients. Education is needed to familiarize clinicians with the new data and help them select the best treatment options for their patients with dMMR/MSI-H colorectal cancer.

Target Audience

This activity is designed to meet the educational needs of physicians/oncologists, nurse practitioners, nurses, physician assistants, pharmacists, and other health care professionals who manage patients with cancer.

Learning Objectives

Following this activity, participants should be able to:

  • Describe considerations for mismatch repair (MMR) and microsatellite instability (MSI) biomarker testing in colorectal cancer.
  • Recognize how MMR or MSI biomarker test results may impact treatment decisions for colon or rectal cancer.
  • Assess the impact of emerging data on the role of checkpoint inhibitor therapies for neoadjuvant treatment of localized colon or rectal cancers.
