CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

  • TARGET AUDIENCE
    This program is intended for medical oncologists, hematologists, hematology-oncology fellows and other allied healthcare professionals involved in the treatment of breast cancer.

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Evaluate the results of genomic assays and other relevant patient- and treatment-related factors to personalize the use of adjuvant systemic therapy for individuals with newly diagnosed ER-positive, HER2-negative, lymph node-negative and node-positive breast cancer.
    • Recall available Phase III data documenting the benefit of abemaciclib in combination with standard hormonal therapy for patients with ER-positive, HER2-negative localized breast cancer at high risk for recurrence, and consider the implications of these findings for clinical care.
    • Individualize the selection and sequence of systemic therapy for patients with newly diagnosed ER-positive metastatic breast cancer (mBC), considering clinical presentation, prior treatment course and psychosocial status.
    • Appraise available research data with the use of commercially available CDK4/6 inhibitors for the treatment of ER-positive mBC, and optimally incorporate these agents into the care of appropriate patients.
    • Recognize the frequency of phosphoinositide 3-kinase pathway mutations in ER-positive mBC, and understand the FDA-approved indication for alpelisib in combination with fulvestrant to optimally employ this approach for patients with ER-positive, HER2-negative disease harboring a PIK3CA mutation.
    • Assess ongoing clinical research studies evaluating novel agents and treatment strategies under development for ER-positive breast cancer, and counsel patients regarding the potential benefits of trial participation.
