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

    • Appreciate the incidence and clinical implications of ESR1 mutations in endocrine-resistant metastatic breast cancer, and determine optimal strategies to effectively identify patients harboring these abnormalities.
    • Understand the biological rationale for, mechanism of action of and pharmacologic similarities and differences among available and investigational oral selective estrogen receptor degraders (SERDs).
    • Interrogate published research documenting the efficacy of available and investigational oral SERDs for ESR1-mutated ER-positive, HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer progressing on standard endocrine therapy with a CDK4/6 inhibitor in order to optimally integrate these agents into patient care.
    • Evaluate available clinical trial data with oral SERDs in combination with other therapeutic agents for patients with and without ESR1 mutations, and consider the potential role of these regimens.
    • Appreciate the side effects associated with available and investigational oral SERDs, and use this information to develop supportive management plans for patients undergoing treatment with this form of therapy.
    • Assess ongoing clinical research evaluating novel applications of oral SERDs for ER-positive breast cancer, and counsel patients regarding the potential benefits of trial participation.
