NeoadjuvantBC16/Patients
TARGET AUDIENCE
This activity is intended for medical oncologists and surgeons involved in the treatment of breast cancer. OVERVIEW OF ACTIVITY The optimal integration of neoadjuvant systemic therapy and the overall management of early breast cancer are complex and challenging clinical issues for which a divergence of opinion and understanding may exist between the practicing oncologist and his or her general or breast surgeon colleague. This CME activity uses the perspectives of medical oncologist and breast cancer surgeon experts to not only provide increased insight into the current thinking behind and practice patterns of surgical and oncology clinical investigators with regard to neoadjuvant therapy but also create and develop an educational resource which will assist general medical oncologists and general/breast surgeons in making effective and informed management decisions.
