  • 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 recently presented clinical research findings to determine their effect on the current care of patients with localized or metastatic breast cancer.

    • Review published research data supporting the use of chemotherapy in combination with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies and of PARP inhibitors for patients with localized triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), and employ this information to make appropriate treatment recommendations.
    • Implement a long-term clinical plan for the care of patients with metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer, incorporating existing and recently approved anti-HER2 therapies.
    • Evaluate relevant biological, patient and treatment-related factors to personalize the selection and sequencing of therapy for individuals diagnosed with ER-positive, HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer.
    • Evaluate published research findings guiding the selection and sequencing of available therapeutic agents for patients with metastatic TNBC.
    • Assess the mechanisms of action of, early data with and ongoing clinical trials evaluating other novel agents and treatment strategies under development for localized and metastatic breast cancer.
