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

  • Evaluate available research establishing the utility of various genomic assays in personalizing adjuvant systemic therapy for hormone receptor (HR)-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer, and identify patients for whom testing would be clinically useful.
  • Consider available clinical trial findings with CDK4/6 inhibitors for localized HR-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer, and identify patients for whom adjuvant treatment with one of these agents may be appropriate.
  • Review available research documenting the correlation between the presence of various biomarkers (eg, PIK3CA/AKT1/PTEN alterations, ESR1 mutations) and response to specific therapies, and develop optimal testing algorithms for patients with HR-positive metastatic breast cancer (mBC).
  • Appraise published efficacy and safety data from randomized clinical trials evaluating CDK4/6 inhibitors for patients with HR-positive mBC to appropriately counsel patients regarding the optimal use of these agents.
  • Interrogate published research documenting the efficacy of oral selective estrogen receptor degraders for HR-positive, HER2-negative mBC progressing on endocrine therapy in combination with a CDK4/6 inhibitor in order to optimally integrate these agents into the care of appropriately selected patients.
  • Recognize the frequency of PIK3CA/AKT1/PTEN abnormalities in HR-positive mBC, and employ evidence-based approaches designed to target these aberrations for patients with newly diagnosed and relapsed/refractory disease.
  • Consider the spectrum, frequency and severity of adverse events associated with various endocrine-based treatment approaches for HR-positive breast cancer, and appreciate strategies to prevent, ameliorate and manage these side effects.
  • Recall the design of ongoing clinical trials evaluating novel endocrine-based strategies for HR-positive breast cancer, and appropriately counsel patients about availability and participation.
