CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

  • TARGET AUDIENCE
    This program is intended for medical oncologists, breast surgeons, nurses, radiation oncologists and other healthcare professionals involved in the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer.

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Review available research data supporting the use of chemotherapy in combination with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies for newly diagnosed PD-L1-positive metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (mTNBC), and use this information to identify patients who may be appropriate for this approach.
    • Evaluate published research, clinical factors (eg, age, performance status, prior therapeutic exposure, presence or absence of low-level HER2 expression) and personal preferences in the selection and sequencing of available therapies for patients with PD-L1-negative mTNBC or those who experience disease progression on front-line chemoimmunotherapy.
    • Assess clinical trial data with HER2-targeted therapy for patients with ER-negative, HER2-low metastatic breast cancer to determine how to optimally incorporate this therapeutic approach into current treatment algorithms.
    • Recognize the spectrum, frequency and severity of treatment-emergent adverse events with agents commonly used for mTNBC, and develop strategies to monitor for, prevent and manage these complications.
    • Assess the mechanisms of action of, early data with and ongoing clinical trials evaluating other novel agents and treatment strategies under development for mTNBC.
