CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

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

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Evaluate the results of genomic assays and other relevant patient- and treatment-related factors to personalize adjuvant systemic therapy for newly diagnosed ER-positive, HER2-negative, lymph node-negative or node-positive breast cancer.
    • Comprehend available findings with CDK4/6 inhibitors in localized ER-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer, and assess the current role of these agents as a component of adjuvant treatment.
    • Individualize the selection and sequence of systemic therapy for patients with newly diagnosed ER-positive metastatic breast cancer (mBC), considering clinical presentation (eg, age, menopausal status, comorbidities, extent and sites of disease), prior treatment course (eg, de novo metastatic disease, type and duration of adjuvant therapy) and psychosocial status.
    • Appraise available research data with commercially available CDK4/6 inhibitors in the treatment ER-positive mBC, and optimally incorporate these agents into patient care.
    • Recognize the frequency of phosphoinositide-3 kinase pathway mutations in patients with ER-positive mBC, and employ evidence-based approaches to targeting these aberrations in patients with ER-positive, HER2-negative, PIK3CA-mutated disease.
    • Appreciate published efficacy and safety data with PARP inhibitors for localized or metastatic breast cancer harboring BRCA1/2 mutations, and consider the diagnostic and therapeutic implications for nonresearch care.
    • Assess ongoing clinical studies evaluating novel agents and treatment strategies under development for ER-positive breast cancer, and counsel patients about the potential benefits of trial participation.
