Description
Nine cancer experts from Latin America, led by Anelisa Coutinho, set out shared guidance in 2024 for treating a hard form of colon and rectal cancer. The cancer has spread and carries a mutation called BRAF-V600E. Targeted drugs can help these patients, yet testing and treatment vary widely across the region.
Convened by the Americas Health Foundation, the panel reviewed how the mutation is tested, how cases are diagnosed, and what care patients receive. They call for local guidelines, team-based tumor boards, and routine gene testing of tumors. The group also gives advice on first treatments, later treatments, and surgery after diagnosis, aiming to close gaps in care across Latin America.
