CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

  • TARGET AUDIENCE
    This program is intended for medical oncologists, breast surgeons, radiation oncologists and other healthcare professionals involved in the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer.

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Appreciate the pathophysiology, incidence and severity of class-effect and agent-specific toxicities associated with FDA-approved antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) in the care of patients with metastatic breast cancer (mBC).
    • Understand the frequency and severity of gastrointestinal side effects of ADCs, and educate patients about to commence treatment with these agents regarding the potential development of these adverse events, how to prevent them and what to do if they occur.
    • Implement a plan of care to monitor for, recognize and manage interstitial lung disease or pneumonitis in patients receiving treatment with ADCs.
    • Recall strategies to identify, manage and mitigate other toxicities associated with ADCs commonly used in the care of patients with mBC, such as fatigue, neutropenia, stomatitis and ocular toxicities, and use this information to appropriately intervene when side effects are suspected or diagnosed.
    • Appraise the role of multidisciplinary specialists in the diagnosis and management of toxicities associated with ADCs commonly used in the care of patients with mBC, and effectively collaborate to offer best-practice care.
