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 incidence, pathological and molecular characteristics and clinical relevance of HER2-low breast cancer, and understand currently available management approaches for this disease subset.
    • Recognize the current definition of HER2-low breast cancer, and be aware of the potential dynamic evolution of HER2 expression throughout the disease course.
    • Enhance interdisciplinary communication among colleagues regarding HER2 testing requirements and optimal reporting of results in order to more effectively identify patients with HER2-low breast cancer.
    • Appraise available clinical research establishing the safety and efficacy of trastuzumab deruxtecan for patients with HR-positive or HR-negative, HER2-low metastatic breast cancer, and formulate a plan to optimally incorporate this agent into treatment algorithms.
    • Recognize the spectrum, frequency and severity of treatment-emergent adverse events associated with trastuzumab deruxtecan, and develop strategies to monitor for, prevent and manage these complications.
    • Recall the design of ongoing clinical trials evaluating novel therapeutic strategies for HER2-low breast cancer, and appropriately counsel patients about availability and participation.
