Every summer, the American Society for Clinical Oncology (ASCO) brings together internationally renowned cancer researchers, doctors and medical professionals to discover and discuss the latest in cancer research and patient care. This webinar, scheduled for June 19 2013 is presented by Dr. John Marshall, and will highlight the key colorectal cancer findings from the 2013 meeting and what these advances mean for you.
3. Fight Colorectal Cancer
Mission
Fight Colorectal Cancer demands a cure for colon and rectal
cancer. We educate and support patients, push for changes
in policy that will increase and improve research, and
empower survivors to raise their voices against the status quo.

6. Gastrointestinal (GI) Cancers Facts
GI cancers represent the most common and fatal cancers in the world
2009: 275,720 new diagnosis of GI Cancers and 135,830 deaths in the
US alone
Anal Cancer
Colorectal Cancer
Esophageal Cancer
Gallbladder Cancer
Liver Cancer
Pancreatic Cancer
Small Intestine Cancer
Stomach/Gastric Cancer
No two cancers are alike and treatments must be selected based on an
individual’s tumor characteristics, by personalized medicine

Colon Cancer Has Many Biologic
Subsets That Differ in Response to
EGFR-Targeted Agents
BRAF
KRAS
EREG or AREG
PI3K PTEN
EGFR
PIP1
PIP3
Signaling to the nucleus
Low expression of EGFR ligands
→ decreased response to EGFR
targeted agents
Mutant BRAF →
decreased response to
EGFR-targeted agents
PTEN loss of expression
→ decreased response
to EGFR-targeted agents
Mutant KRAS →
decreased response to
EGFR-targeted agents
