CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

• TARGET AUDIENCE
  This activity is intended for medical oncologists, hematologist-oncologists and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of breast cancer.
  
  OVERVIEW OF ACTIVITY
  Breast cancer remains the most frequently diagnosed cancer in women, and in 2019 in the United States alone the disease will culminate in an estimated 271,270 new cases and 42,260 deaths. Estrogen receptor (ER)-positive disease, which represents approximately 65% of all cases, is perhaps the most nuanced subset in regard to therapeutic decision-making in the advanced setting. In recent years several ground-breaking clinical data sets and related FDA actions have significantly and unprecedentedly altered the treatment algorithm for patients with ER-positive breast cancer. With these exciting advances, many areas of controversy, vexing questions and clinical challenges are emerging. To provide clinicians with therapeutic strategies to address the disparate needs of patients with ER-positive breast cancer, this program will feature one-on-one discussions with leading breast cancer investigators. By providing information on the latest clinical developments in the context of expert perspectives, this activity will assist medical oncologists with the formulation of evidence-based and current therapeutic strategies, which will in turn facilitate optimal patient care.
  
  LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Implement a clinical plan for the management of ER-positive metastatic breast cancer, considering available data and patient and disease characteristics.
  • Appraise published efficacy and safety data with the FDA-approved CDK4/6 inhibitors abemaciclib, palbociclib and ribociclib, and determine how they can be optimally integrated into the management of ER-positive advanced breast cancer.
  • Consider the recent FDA approval of and available Phase III data with alpelisib in combination with fulvestrant for patients with ER-positive advanced breast cancer with a PIK3CA mutation, and determine how this regimen can be incorporated into clinical practice.
  • Recognize the evolving application of biomarkers and multigene assays in breast cancer management, and effectively use these tools to refine or individualize treatment plans for patients with localized disease.
  • Appreciate the role of adjuvant endocrine therapy versus chemoendocrine therapy for women with ER-positive, HER2-negative, node-negative breast cancer and an intermediate 21-gene Recurrence Score^®.
  • Develop an understanding of the mechanisms of action of, available data with and potential clinical roles of novel agents and approaches in the management of ER-positive breast cancer to facilitate referral for clinical trial opportunities.
