TARGET AUDIENCE
This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of medical oncologists, hematologists, hematology-oncology fellows, surgeons, radiation oncologists, pharmacists, nurse practitioners, clinical nurse specialists and other healthcare professionals involved in the treatment of cancer.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Effectively apply the results of practice-changing clinical research to the care of patients with breast cancer, prostate cancer, colorectal cancer, follicular lymphoma and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.
  • Appraise the clinical relevance of recent pivotal cancer research published in peer-reviewed journals or presented at major oncology conferences.
  • Recall ongoing clinical trials for select hematologic cancers and solid tumors, and as appropriate, refer patients for participation.
  • Incorporate clinical characteristics, logistical factors, tumor biomarkers and single and multigene signatures into individualized therapy for patients with cancer.
  • Educate patients with select hematologic cancers and solid tumors about the benefits and risks of novel therapeutic agents and strategies.
  • Refine or validate existing cancer treatment algorithms, considering new datasets and the perspectives of tumor-specific clinical investigators.
  • Evaluate the tolerability, efficacy and mechanisms of action of promising investigational agents, and consider the implications for clinical practice.

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

  • Appreciate the incidence and clinical implications of ESR1 mutations in endocrine-resistant metastatic breast cancer, and determine strategies to effectively identify patients harboring these abnormalities.
  • Understand the biological rationale for, mechanism of action of and pharmacological similarities and differences among available and investigational oral selective estrogen receptor degraders (SERDs).
  • Interrogate published research documenting the efficacy of available and investigational oral SERDs for ER-positive, HER2-negative, ESR1-mutated metastatic breast cancer progressing on standard endocrine therapy in combination with a CDK4/6 inhibitor, and optimally integrate these agents into patient care.
  • Evaluate available and emerging clinical trial data with oral SERDs in other populations, such as patients without ESR1 mutations or patients with ESR1 mutations detected via circulating tumor DNA during first-line treatment, and consider the potential role of SERDs in these situations.
  • Appreciate side effects associated with available and investigational oral SERDs, and use this information to develop supportive management plans for patients.
  • Assess ongoing clinical research evaluating novel applications of oral SERDs for ER-positive breast cancer, and counsel patients regarding the potential benefits of trial participation.
