CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

  • TARGET AUDIENCE
    This activity is intended for medical oncologists, hematology-oncology fellows and other healthcare providers involved in the 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 utilize this information to identify patients who may be appropriate for this approach.
    • Evaluate published research findings, clinical factors (eg, age, performance status, prior therapeutic exposure, HER2 low status) and patient preferences in 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.
    • Assess available clinical trial data with the use of HER2-targeted therapy for patients with ER-negative, HER2-low mBC to determine how to optimally incorporate this therapeutic approach into current treatment algorithms.
    • Recall published research data supporting the use of PARP inhibitors for patients with mTNBC, and use this information to make appropriate treatment recommendations.
    • Recognize the spectrum, frequency and severity of treatment-emergent adverse events associated with agents commonly utilized in the management of 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.
