    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Appreciate the importance of shared decision-making, and employ novel approaches and resources to improve counseling and treatment discussions regarding metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (mTNBC).
    • Reflect on the viewpoints of disease-specific clinical investigators regarding best-practice management approaches for mTNBC, and use this information to discuss appropriate therapeutic recommendations.
    • Evaluate published research findings, patient preferences and clinical factors such as age, performance status, prior therapeutic exposure and PD-L1/BRCA/HER2-low status in the selection and sequencing of therapy for mTNBC.
    • Appreciate available clinical trial data with approved antibody-drug conjugates for mTNBC in order to optimally incorporate these agents into treatment algorithms.
    • Recognize the spectrum, frequency and severity of treatment-emergent adverse events associated with agents commonly used in the management of mTNBC, and develop strategies to monitor for, prevent and manage these complications.
    • Describe the challenges encountered by patients with mTNBC, and enact efforts within current practice to overcome these barriers.
