Target Audience
This program is intended for medical oncologists, hematology-oncology fellows and other allied healthcare professionals involved in the treatment of breast cancer.
Learning Objectives
- Appreciate the key clinical variables that affect the use of preoperative therapy and the selection of specific therapeutic regimens for patients with HER2-overexpressing localized breast cancer, and integrate this information into current treatment decision-making.
- Appraise available and emerging research evidence to individualize the selection of adjuvant and extended-adjuvant therapy for patients with HER2-overexpressing localized breast cancer.
- Evaluate the key research data with and the recent FDA approval of tucatinib with trastuzumab/capecitabine for patients with advanced HER2-positive breast cancer.
- Develop an understanding of the mechanism of action of trastuzumab deruxtecan and the pivotal clinical trial findings leading to its FDA approval for patients with previously treated advanced HER2-positive breast cancer.
- Assess clinical research on the FDA-approved combination of neratinib and capecitabine for patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer.
- Implement a long-term clinical plan for the management of metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer, and consider how to optimally integrate neratinib/capecitabine, trastuzumab deruxtecan and tucatinib/trastuzumab/capecitabine into practice for the care of patients with and without CNS metastases.
- Assess ongoing clinical research studies evaluating novel agents and treatment strategies under development for metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer, and counsel patients regarding the potential benefits of trial participation.
