CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

  • TARGET AUDIENCE
    This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of oncology nurses, nurse practitioners and clinical nurse specialists involved in the treatment of breast cancer.

    PURPOSE STATEMENT
    By providing information on the latest research developments in the context of expert perspectives, this NCPD activity will assist oncology nurses, nurse practitioners and clinical nurse specialists with the formulation of state-of-the-art clinical management strategies to facilitate optimal care of patients with breast cancer.

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Understand published research data guiding the selection and duration of neoadjuvant, adjuvant and extended-adjuvant therapy for patients with HER2-overexpressing localized breast cancer.
    • Discuss with patients the risks and benefits of various anti-HER2 therapies employed in the long-term management of HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer.
    • Recognize common and rare side effects associated with novel anti-HER2 agents, and use this information to develop supportive management plans for patients with HER2-positive breast cancer.
    • Consider how the results of genomic assays and other patient- and treatment-related factors are used to personalize adjuvant systemic therapy for newly diagnosed ER-positive breast cancer.
    • Comprehend 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 neoadjuvant or adjuvant treatment.
    • Counsel patients regarding the selection and sequence of systemic therapy for ER-positive metastatic breast cancer discussing the roles of age, menopausal status, prior treatment course, PIK3CA mutation status, comorbidities, symptomatology and extent and sites of disease.
    • Appreciate available Phase III data documenting the efficacy of adjuvant PARP inhibition for patients high-risk HER2-negative localized breast cancer with BRCA mutations, and consider the potential role of this strategy in clinical practice.
    • Review published research evidence for the benefit of chemotherapy in combination with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies for newly diagnosed localized or metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), and use this information to educate 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 published efficacy and safety data with PARP inhibitors for patients with metastatic breast cancer harboring BRCA1/2 mutations, and consider the diagnostic and therapeutic implications for nonresearch care.
    • Assess the mechanisms of action of, early data with and ongoing clinical trials evaluating other novel agents and treatment strategies under development for localized and metastatic breast cancer.
