CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

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

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Consider published research data, consensus-based guidelines and other peer-reviewed sources to inform the use of biomarkers and genomic classifiers to assess risk and customize therapy for patients with node-negative and node-positive, hormone receptor-positive localized breast cancer.
    • Individualize the selection and duration of adjuvant systemic therapy for newly diagnosed ER-positive breast cancer considering the patient's clinical presentation (eg, age, stage, tumor size, nodal involvement, menopausal status, comorbidities) and other relevant factors.
    • Appreciate the means by which the cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) pathway contributes to breast cancer proliferation and growth, and recognize the biologic rationale for the evaluation of CDK4/6 inhibitors as a component of adjuvant therapy for patients with localized ER-positive breast cancer.
    • Evaluate available Phase III data documenting the benefit of adjuvant CDK4/6 inhibition 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.
    • Recall recently presented findings documenting the efficacy of adjuvant PARP inhibition for patients with BRCA-mutated, high-risk, HER2-negative localized breast cancer, and consider the future role of this strategy among individuals with ER-positive disease.
    • Assess ongoing clinical research studies evaluating other novel agents and treatment strategies under development for ER-positive localized breast cancer, and counsel patients regarding the potential benefits of trial participation.
