MODULE 1: Considerations in the Care of Patients with Localized HER2-Positive Breast Cancer (BC)

MODULE 2: Optimizing the Management of HER2-Positive Metastatic BC

MODULE 3: Treatment of HER2-Positive Brain Metastases

MODULE 4: Future Directions in the Management of HER2-Positive Localized and Metastatic BC

Target Audience
This activity is intended for medical oncologists, breast cancer surgeons, radiation oncologists and other healthcare professionals involved in the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer.

Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to

  • Appreciate the key clinical variables that affect the use of preoperative therapy and the selection of a specific neoadjuvant therapeutic regimen for patients with HER2-overexpressing localized breast cancer (BC), and integrate this information into treatment decision-making.
  • Apply available research evidence to individualize the selection and use of adjuvant systemic therapy for patients with HER2-positive localized BC who received neoadjuvant treatment.
  • Evaluate published research data to guide the selection and duration of adjuvant and/or extended adjuvant therapy for patients with HER2-overexpressing localized BC.
  • Implement a long-term clinical plan for the management of advanced HER2-positive BC, incorporating existing and recently approved targeted agents and regimens.
  • Design an optimal approach to the clinical care of patients with HER2-positive BC and CNS metastases, considering the implications of prior therapeutic exposure, symptomatology and other factors.
  • Recognize common and rare side effects associated with existing and recently approved anti-HER2 agents, and use this information to develop supportive management plans for patients undergoing treatment for HER2-positive BC.
  • Assess ongoing clinical research studies evaluating novel agents and treatment strategies under development for HER2-positive BC, and counsel patients regarding the potential benefits of trial participation.

A CME credit form will be given to each participant at the conclusion of the activity.
