 Despite great strides in cancer research, the fact remains that there is still no cure for stage IV (metastatic) disease. There are promising treatment options for patients with late stage disease, but far too many patients will still hear their doctors say, "We are running out of options."
Dr. Leonard Saltz, Head of Colorectal Oncology at Memorial Sloan-Kettering, has treated thousands of late stage patients. He's witnessed incredible survival in some patients, but has also had to deliver bad news to others. In this webinar, Dr. Saltz will discuss:
- Treatment options available for metastatic colorectal cancer patients today
- What it really means when you have run out of options, and
- How you can best prepare for that news
About Dr. Saltz:
 Dr. Saltz has been on the faculty of Memorial Sloan-Kettering since 1989. His expertise is in managing cancers of the colon and rectum, as well as tumors of the digestive tract. Much of his career has been dedicated to developing new drug therapies and treatment strategies for colorectal cancer. He sees enormous potential in using recent advances in the molecular analysis of tumors from individual patients to personalize and improve cancer treatment.
