Looking Ahead Toward Better Outcomes for Heavily
Pre-Treated HR+/HER2- Metastatic Breast CancerACKNOWLEDGEMENT
This activity is supported by an educational grant from Gilead Sciences, Inc.DATE OF RELEASE/EXPIRATION
Monday, April 3, 2023 from 3:00-4:00pm ETTARGET AUDIENCE
The primary target audience for this activity are breast oncologists and medical oncologists. The secondary audience for this activity are oncology pharmacists, oncology nurses, and oncology NPs/PAs.STATEMENT OF NEED/PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Patients with HR+/HER2‐ metastatic breast cancer (MBC) are at increased risk of progression and adverse outcomes. While endocrine therapies are effective in early‐stage disease, patients with cancer that progresses to endocrine‐resistant disease have limited treatment options. Treatment can involve multiple chemotherapy regimens with high toxicity. However, additional therapeutic options are emerging for patients with HR+/HER2‐ MBC that has been heavily pretreated.
Join a panel of expert oncologists to discuss best practices for addressing treatment challenges for patients with heavily pretreated HR+/HER2‐ MBC. Panelists will share strategies for sequencing therapies in these patients and optimizing treatment in various patient subgroups. Recent data on emerging therapeutic options in this difficult‐to‐treat population will be reviewed, including novel antibody-drug conjugates (ADC) that have demonstrated efficacy in this population with reduced toxicity compared to chemotherapy.
EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES
After completing this activity, the participant should be better able to:
- Discuss available therapies for HR+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer, as well as the need for additional options for patients who progress despite previous treatment
- Apply evidence-based approaches for sequencing therapy in patients with HR+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer to maximize benefit and minimize toxicity
- Evaluate data for emerging agents that can have a clinically significant benefit for subgroups of patients with HR+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer, such as those with endocrine-resistant disease
