CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

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

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Appreciate the incidence of TROP2 overexpression in patients with metastatic breast cancer (mBC), and determine the current utility of TROP2-directed antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) in the treatment of this disease.
    • Consider available research data with novel HER2-directed ADCs for patients with HER2-low and HER2-ultralow mBC, and consider the role of this approach in routine clinical care.
    • Discern the side effects and toxicities associated with FDA-approved ADCs for patients with mBC, and identify strategies to manage and mitigate them.
    • Recognize the rationale for targeting other relevant cell surface proteins in patients with mBC, and consider available research findings with and the potential role in treatment of novel ADCs designed to therapeutically exploit these biomarkers.
    • Evaluate the scientific justification for ADCs in combination with immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy, and reflect on available research findings with and ongoing trials investigating these novel regimens for patients with mBC.
    • Recall ongoing trials evaluating the potential role of novel ADCs in the treatment of mBC, and counsel appropriate candidates regarding enrollment.
