Research To Practice

Agenda

Each 1-hour session will be divided into topic modules focused on current management, emerging research and novel agents and strategies under active investigation for HER2-positive breast cancer. Each event will employ an identical format that will include the following elements:

  • Moderator Dr Neil Love and a featured participating clinical investigator
  • Discussion of participating faculty treatment recommendations
  • Review of available clinical research findings
  • Community oncologist video case presentations
  • Interactive audience polling and extensive Q&A

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

    MODULE 2: Optimizing the Management of HER2-Positive Metastatic Breast Cancer

    MODULE 3: Treatment of HER2-Positive Brain Metastases

    MODULE 4: Incidence and Management of Adverse Events Associated with HER2-Targeted Therapy

Target Audience
This program is intended for medical oncologists, hematologists, hematology-oncology fellows and other allied healthcare professionals involved in the treatment of HER2-positive breast cancer.

Learning Objectives

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