Approximately 15%-30% of patients are diagnosed with metastatic CRC (mCRC), and despite increasing survival rates, mCRC remains fatal. There are notable variations in the incidence and mortality rates of CRC across European countries, which may be attributed to the differences in lifestyle patterns and variations in cancer diagnosis and management practices. Standard initial treatments for mCRC include chemotherapeutic agents and targeted therapies. This report presents the findings of a virtual meeting held from 21 January to 2 February 2025. The meeting included healthcare professionals from 10 Eastern European countries (Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Montenegro, Romania, Serbia, and Slovenia). The experts shared their opinions on various topics such as the current clinical practice and existing clinical challenges in the treatment of patients with mCRC, factors influencing treatment choices, and the place of fruquintinib therapy in the management of mCRC. The discussion was facilitated using open-ended questions. The primary objective of this article was to provide an overview of the experts' opinions and experiences related to the current treatment approaches to mCRC management, with a focus on fruquintinib in Eastern Europe. The experts identified the need for molecular and genetic profiling, multidisciplinary coordination, limited availability of and access to targeted and newly approved medications, and lack of reimbursement as key challenges in managing patients with mCRC in these regions. The experts also highlighted the importance of patient education and participation in regional and international clinical trials of new therapeutics. They also noted the need for generating real-world evidence on the safety and efficacy of fruquintinib, its comparative efficacy versus other later-line therapies, its efficacy as an earlier line of therapy, and its sequencing in the current treatment practices. Furthermore, despite the lack of direct experience with fruquintinib, most experts acknowledged its potential efficacy as a later-line therapy for mCRC and considered its effectiveness to be comparable to that of other third-line treatments.</p>","PeriodicalId":9046,"journal":{"name":"BMC Proceedings","volume":"20 Suppl 14","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-03-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13007362/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147497602","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet the ad hoc committee also noted primary care was \"slowly dying,\" due to chronic under-investment, ill-suited payment models, and inadequate workforce planning and development. Encouragingly, efforts to revitalize primary care are underway. To accelerate this movement by generating expert consensus recommendations on the highest priority actions to take in repairing the frayed U.S. primary care base, clinical scientists at the University of California Davis (UCD) School of Medicine convened the Summit to Revitalize Primary Care (Rev PC). Summit recommendations were generated in four closed working sessions of a national Expert Committee. Committee members were selected to ensure a breadth of perspectives (e.g., health plans, purchasers of insurance, regulatory agencies, health systems, clinicians, educators, researchers, economists) from the public and private sectors. Seven high priority recommendations emerged: (1) Increase the proportion of spending on primary care, coupled with initiatives to slow the growth in total health care spending; (2) Pay for primary care using models that support high quality, team-based, relationship-centered, equitable care; (3) Assist practices in transformation to advanced primary care models and assess the impacts on clinical teams, patients, and communities; (4) Maximize primary care's potential to equitably advance health; (5) Advocate for training an appropriately large and diverse primary care physician workforce; (6) Expand research to address the most pressing issues in primary care; (7) Collaborate with a broad array of societal stakeholders in messaging the importance of robust primary care. These recommendations both overlap with and expand on those of the NASEM ad hoc committee and subsequent Standing Committee on Primary Care. Broad pursuit of the recommendations would catalyze sustained momentum toward appropriate primary care investment and workforce planning and development, enabling U.S. primary care to realize its yet-unfulfilled potential to improve population health and advance health equity while helping to control growth in total health care costs.</p>","PeriodicalId":9046,"journal":{"name":"BMC Proceedings","volume":"20 Suppl 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12951951/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147324536","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
