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

  • Assess potential biomarkers of response to PARP inhibition in order to optimize the selection from available genetic testing platforms and related therapeutic interventions for patients with breast cancer.
  • Appraise published efficacy and safety data with PARP inhibitors for patients with metastatic breast cancer (mBC) harboring a BRCA1/2 mutation, and consider the diagnostic and therapeutic implications of these findings.
  • Describe the biologic rationale for the activity of PARP inhibitors in patients with mBC and alterations in DNA damage-repair pathway genes beyond germline BRCA1/2, and advise individuals found to harbor one of these genetic abnormalities about the possible benefits of treatment with this class of agents.
  • Appreciate available Phase III data documenting the efficacy of adjuvant PARP inhibition for patients with high-risk HER2-negative localized breast cancer with BRCA mutations, and consider the potential role of this therapy in clinical practice.
  • Compare and contrast the toxicities associated with PARP inhibitors commonly used in the care of patients with breast cancer, and offer supportive management strategies to minimize or ameliorate these side effects.
  • Recall ongoing research evaluating novel applications of PARP inhibitors for breast cancer, and counsel appropriate patients regarding clinical trial participation.
