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

    • Evaluate the results of genomic assays and other patient- and treatment-related factors to personalize adjuvant systemic therapy for individuals with newly diagnosed HR-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer.
    • Comprehend available research findings with CDK4/6 inhibitors for localized and metastatic HR-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer, and counsel patients regarding the current and future role of these agents.
    • Evaluate biological and patient- and treatment-related factors to personalize the selection and sequencing of therapy for individuals diagnosed with HR-positive, HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer (mBC).
    • Review available research findings documenting the correlation between the presence of various biomarkers, such as PIK3CA/AKT1/PTEN alterations and ESR1 mutations, and response to specific therapies for patients with HR-positive mBC.
    • Appreciate the frequency of PIK3CA/AKT1/PTEN alterations in patients with HR-positive mBC, and recognize evidence-based approaches designed to target these aberrations.
    • Understand the mechanism of action, published research findings with and current and future clinical role of oral selective estrogen receptor degraders in treatment for relapsed/refractory HR-positive mBC.
    • Implement a plan of care to recognize and manage side effects and toxicities associated with approved and emerging hormonal therapy-based treatments for HR-positive breast cancer.
    • Develop an understanding of the biological rationale for, available research findings with and ongoing studies evaluating promising investigational agents and strategies for patients with HR-positive breast cancer.
