SanAntonioBC17_Interviews

MODULE 1: Optimal Treatment Strategies for Patients with Localized HER2-Positive Breast Cancer (BC)

Track 1: Choice of adjuvant anti-HER2 targeted therapy for patients with localized HER2-positive BC
Track 2: Optimal duration of adjuvant trastuzumab therapy
Track 3: Role of adjuvant pertuzumab for patients with ER-negative, HER2-positive BC
Track 4: Perspective on the use of extended adjuvant neratinib therapy
Track 5: Role of anthracyclines for HER2-positive BC in the (neo)adjuvant setting
Track 6: Approach to adjuvant therapy for patients with small, node-negative, HER2-positive BC

MODULE 2: Current Role of Genomic Assays in the Management of ER-Positive Early BC

Track 7: TAILORx trial: Adjuvant endocrine therapy is noninferior to chemoendocrine therapy for patients with hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative, node-negative early BC with an intermediate 21-gene Recurrence Score® (RS) of 11 to 25
Track 8: Clinical implications of the results of the TAILORx study
Track 9: Use of ovarian suppression instead of chemotherapy for premenopausal women with an intermediate RS of 18 to 25
Track 10: Role of genomic assays in decision-making for patients with node-positive BC
Track 11: Utility of the 21-gene RS in the neoadjuvant setting

MODULE 3: Therapeutic Considerations for Patients with ER-Positive, HER2-Negative Metastatic BC (mBC)

Track 12: Management of de novo ER-positive, HER2-negative mBC
Track 13: Therapeutic approach for patients who develop metastatic disease after adjuvant endocrine therapy
Track 14: Selection of CDK4/6 inhibitors for patients with ER-positive mBC
Track 15: Therapeutic options for patients with ER-positive mBC who experience disease relapse after treatment with a CDK4/6 inhibitor

MODULE 4: Treatment of HER2-Positive mBC

Track 16: Management of HER2-positive mBC
Track 17: Efficacy of CDK4/6 inhibitors in patients with ER-positive, HER2-positive mBC
Track 18: Treatment options for patients with ER-positive, HER2-positive mBC experiencing disease progression after first-line therapy
Track 19: Activity and tolerability of neratinib for HER2-positive mBC

MODULE 5: Role of PARP Inhibition in the Management of BC

Track 20: Indications for BRCA mutation testing in patients with mBC
Track 21: Choice of olaparib versus chemotherapy for patients with triple-negative BC and a germline BRCA mutation
Track 22: Viewpoint on the efficacy of PARP inhibitors for patients with ER-positive, HER2-negative mBC and a BRCA germline mutation
Track 23: Therapeutic approach for patients with ER-positive, HER2-negative mBC and a BRCA2 germline mutation who experience disease progression after first-line therapy

MODULE 6: Emerging Role of Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors for patients with BC

Track 24: Selection of patients for immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy
Track 25: Perspective on the use of immune checkpoint inhibitors for patients with preexisting autoimmune disease
