TARGET AUDIENCE
This activity is intended for medical oncologists, hematology-oncology fellows and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of breast cancer.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

• Discern the mechanism by which the cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) pathway contributes to breast cancer proliferation and growth, and consider the clinical and research implications for the management of hormone receptor (HR)-positive metastatic breast cancer (mBC).
• Appraise published findings from randomized clinical trials and real-world experience establishing the efficacy and safety of CDK4/6 inhibitors for HR-positive mBC in order to understand the risks, benefits and optimal use of these agents in various subgroups of patients.
• Implement a clinical plan for the treatment of newly diagnosed HR-positive mBC, considering patient age, performance status, preexisting medical conditions, prior treatments and other clinical and practical factors.
• Develop preventive and emergent strategies to reduce or ameliorate the unique side effects associated with the various approved CDK4/6 inhibitors.

This activity is intended for medical oncologists, hematology-oncology fellows and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of breast cancer.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

• Evaluate recently presented clinical research findings to determine their effect on the current management of localized or metastatic breast cancer (mBC).
• Evaluate updated research findings from key trials establishing the utility of genomic assays to assist in personalizing adjuvant systemic therapy for newly diagnosed hormone receptor (HR)-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer, and identify patients for whom testing results would be clinically useful.
• Review published research data supporting the use of chemotherapy in combination with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies for patients with localized or metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), and use this information to make appropriate treatment recommendations.
• Appraise published efficacy and safety data from randomized trials evaluating CDK4/6 inhibitors for patients with HR-positive localized or metastatic breast cancer in order to provide appropriate counsel regarding the optimal clinical use of these agents.
• Understand available data with and current and future clinical role of oral selective estrogen receptor degraders for patients with relapsed/refractory HR-positive mBC.
• Evaluate published research findings to effectively inform the selection and sequencing of available therapeutic agents and regimens for patients with HER2-positive localized and metastatic breast cancer.
• Discuss available research establishing the efficacy of PARP inhibitors in patients with localized breast cancer harboring BRCA or other homologous recombination repair pathway mutations, and identify candidates for whom treatment with these agents would be appropriate.
• Appreciate the clinical relevance of HER2-low or HER2-ultralow mBC, and understand available research findings with HER2-directed antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) for these patients.
• Interrogate published Phase III research documenting the efficacy of TROP2-directed ADCs in patients with mBC to determine the current and future clinical applicability of these approaches.
• Assess available data with novel HER3-directed therapies under development for mBC.
