CE Disclosures and Faculty Information

• 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 published research data to guide the selection and duration of neoadjuvant, adjuvant and extended-adjuvant therapy for patients with HER2-overexpressing localized breast cancer.
  • Implement a long-term clinical plan for the management of metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer, incorporating existing and recently approved anti-HER2 therapies.
  • Recognize common and rare side effects associated with novel anti-HER2 agents, and use this information to develop supportive management plans for patients undergoing treatment for HER2-positive breast cancer.
  • Evaluate the results of genomic assays and other relevant patient- and treatment-related factors to personalize the use of adjuvant systemic therapy in newly diagnosed ER-positive breast cancer.
  • Individualize the selection and sequence of systemic therapy for patients with ER-positive metastatic breast cancer (mBC), considering age, menopausal status, prior treatment course, comorbidities, symptomatology and extent and sites of disease.
  • Review published research data supporting the benefit of chemotherapy in combination with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies for patients with newly diagnosed PD-L1-positive metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), and use this information to make treatment recommendations.
  • Recall available research data and ongoing clinical trials evaluating anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies for patients with localized TNBC, and determine the current and potential role of these strategies in clinical practice.
  • Assess potential biomarkers of response to PARP inhibition, and use this information to optimize the selection of available genetic testing platforms and related therapeutic interventions for patients with mBC.
  • Appraise recent FDA approvals and ongoing clinical research of novel agents and treatment strategies for various forms of breast cancer, and counsel patients about protocol and nonresearch treatment recommendations.
