Appendiceal cancer is not the same as colon cancer: Implications for chemotherapy

ACPMP hosted this webinar as part of our 2023 Education Series. It is with great pleasure that we introduce our distinguished guest presenter, Dr. John Paul Shen, an Assistant Professor at MD Anderson Cancer Center, University of Texas. Dr. Shen will share his valuable insights and expertise with us, focusing on the following topics:

-Important molecular differences between appendiceal and colon cancer and why testing for specific mutations is important;
-New recently published clinical trial data highlighting that some colon cancer chemotherapy is of questionable efficacy for specific types of appendiceal cancer;
-New data showing the activity of the drug paclitaxel and information about a new clinical trial expected to open in late 2023.
-Your questions about appendiceal tumor mutations and how these mutations influence tumor behavior.
