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

  • Evaluate recently presented clinical research findings to determine their effect on the current management of patients with localized or metastatic breast cancer (mBC).
  • Review published research data supporting the use of chemotherapy in combination with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies for patients with localized or metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), and use this information to make appropriate treatment recommendations.
  • Appraise published efficacy and safety data from randomized clinical trials evaluating the use of CDK4/6 inhibitors in patients with HR-positive localized or metastatic breast cancer (BC) in order to appropriately counsel patients regarding the optimal clinical use of these agents.
  • Recognize the frequency of PIK3CA/AKT1/PTEN alterations in individuals with HR-positive mBC, and employ evidence-based approaches designed to target these aberrations for patients with HR-positive, HER2-negative disease.
  • Understand the mechanism of action, published research findings with and current and future clinical role of oral selective estrogen receptor degraders in patients with relapsed/refractory HR-positive mBC.
  • Evaluate published research findings to effectively inform the selection and sequencing of available therapeutic agents and regimens for patients with HER2-positive localized and metastatic BC.
  • Discuss available research findings establishing the efficacy of PARP inhibitors in patients with localized or metastatic BC harboring BRCA or other homologous recombination repair pathway mutations and identify individuals appropriate for treatment with these agents.
  • Appreciate the incidence, characteristics and clinical relevance of HER2-low or -ultralow mBC, and understand available and emerging research findings with the use HER2-directed antibody-drug conjugates in these patients.
  • Interrogate published Phase III research findings documenting the efficacy of TROP2-directed antibody-drug conjugates in patients with mBC to determine the current and potential future clinical applicability of these approaches.
  • 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 BC.
