Breast cancer (BC) is a heterogeneous disease with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) overexpression and/or amplification observed in 20%-30% of cases. HER2-positive (+) BC correlates with poor clinical outcomes unless appropriately treated with targeted therapy. Despite significant therapeutic advances, many patients experience disease progression with resistance to targeted agents developing over the course of treatment.
This CME Outfitters Live and OnDemand webcast will provide up-to-date education on this rapidly evolving field, in order to better tailor treatment strategies, leading to improved patient outcomes. Additionally, faculty will discuss COVID-19 and its impact on patients with BC.
At the end of this CE activity, participants should be able to:
- Apply HER2 testing guidelines for improved treatment selection in breast cancer.
- Evaluate clinical trial data for novel and emerging therapies for the management of patients with low HER2 expression, resistant to HER2-directed therapies, and HER3+ BC.
- Expand use of telemedicine in BC care.
The following learning objectives pertain only to those requesting CNE or CPE credit:
- Summarize HER2 testing guidelines for improved treatment selection in BC.
- Evaluate clinical trial data for novel and emerging therapies for the management of patients with low HER2 expression, resistant to HER2-directed therapies, and HER3+ BC.
- Describe ways to expand use of telemedicine in BC care.
