TARGET AUDIENCE
This activity is intended for hematologists, medical oncologists, hematology-oncology fellows and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of multiple myeloma (MM).
60 yo woman, s/p mastectomy for a 2.1-cm IDC, negative nodes. Patient receives TC followed by anastrozole, but 2 years after starting anastrozole a small lesion is removed from the chest wall that proves to be a recurrence. No other disease is detected clinically or on imaging. Both the primary tumor and the recurrence are ER-positive/HER2-negative. What systemic treatment would you recommend?
What proportion of your patients receiving everolimus require dose adjustments for toxicity?
What would you generally recommend for a postmenopausal patient with ER-positive/HER2-negative disease with asymptomatic, higher-volume metastases after receiving adjuvant anastrozole for 3 years?
What would you generally recommend for a postmenopausal patient with ER-positive/HER2-negative disease with asymptomatic, low-volume metastases after receiving adjuvant anastrozole for 1 year?

TARGET AUDIENCE
This activity is intended for medical oncologists, hematologist-oncologists, hematology-oncology fellows, oncology nurses, radiation oncologists, breast/general surgeons and other healthcare practitioners involved in the management of breast cancer.
OVERVIEW OF ACTIVITY
Breast cancer remains the most frequently diagnosed type of cancer in women, with an estimated 234,580 new cases and 40,030 deaths in the United States in 2013. Advances in screening and prevention have resulted in a steady down-stage migration at the time of disease presentation, and the number of individuals living with breast cancer has increased substantially, as has the population “at risk” for recurrent disease.
