CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

  • TARGET AUDIENCE
    This program is intended for medical oncologists, hematologists, hematology-oncology fellows and other allied healthcare professionals involved in the treatment of breast cancer.

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Evaluate published research data to guide the selection and duration of neoadjuvant, adjuvant and extended-adjuvant therapy for patients with HER2-overexpressing localized breast cancer.
    • Implement a long-term clinical plan for the care of patients with metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer, incorporating current and recently approved anti-HER2 therapies.
    • Recognize common and rare side effects associated with novel anti-HER2 agents, and use this information to develop supportive management plans for patients undergoing treatment for HER2-positive breast cancer.
    • Evaluate the results of genomic assays and other patient- and treatment-related factors to personalize adjuvant systemic therapy for newly diagnosed ER-positive breast cancer.
    • Consider available clinical trial findings with CDK4/6 inhibitors for localized ER-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer, and assess the optimal role of these agents as a component of adjuvant treatment.
    • Individualize the selection and sequencing of systemic therapy for patients with ER-positive metastatic breast cancer.
    • Review published data supporting the benefit of chemotherapy in combination with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies for localized or metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), and use this information to make treatment recommendations for patients.
    • Evaluate published research findings guiding the selection and sequencing of available therapeutic agents for patients with PD-L1-negative TNBC or those who experience disease progression on front-line chemoimmunotherapy.
    • Appraise efficacy and safety data with PARP inhibitors for patients with localized and metastatic breast cancer and BRCA1/2 mutations, and consider the diagnostic and therapeutic implications.
