TARGET AUDIENCE
This activity is intended for medical oncologists, hematologist-oncologists and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of breast cancer (BC).

OVERVIEW OF ACTIVITY
BC continues to be one of the most rapidly evolving fields in medical oncology. Results from numerous ongoing trials lead to the continual emergence of new therapeutic agents, treatment strategies and diagnostic and prognostic tools. In order to offer optimal patient care, including the option of clinical trial participation, the practicing cancer clinician must be well informed of these advances. Featuring information on the latest research developments along with expert perspectives, this CME activity is designed to assist medical oncologists, hematologist-oncologists and hematology-oncology fellows with the formulation of up-to-date clinical management strategies.
