This educational initiative is meticulously crafted to empower oncologists and healthcare providers with the latest insights into the nuanced management of advanced breast cancer, equipping them to seamlessly integrate emerging therapies and cutting-edge techniques into their daily clinical practice. The conference is designed to offer a comprehensive exploration of the ever-evolving landscape of breast cancer, focusing on critical updates and treatment trends/guidelines for triple-negative breast cancer, inflammatory breast cancer, locally advanced breast cancer, and metastatic breast cancer. Our distinguished panel of experts, drawn from both within and beyond MD Anderson, will highlight the imperative of adopting a multidisciplinary team approach. Emphasis will be placed on developing strategies for the identification of specific genomic and proteomic signatures associated with breast cancer. Through in-depth discussions and analysis of clinical scenarios, attendees will gain practical insights into delivering a high level of patient-focused, multidisciplinary care, setting the standard for breast cancer patient management. Moreover, our experts will shed light on ongoing clinical trials that present novel therapeutic avenues for advanced, rare, and aggressive forms of breast cancer. The ultimate objective is to equip physicians with the necessary tools to enhance diagnostic precision, tailor therapeutic approaches to the unique characteristics of breast cancer, assess the effectiveness of advanced breast cancer treatments, and make informed referrals to clinical trials when appropriate. By participating in this conference, healthcare providers will not only stay abreast of the latest advancements but will also cultivate the skills needed to navigate the complex landscape of breast cancer care. This knowledge is pivotal for making informed decisions that positively impact patient outcomes and contribute to the ongoing advancement of breast cancer treatment strategies.

1. Deliver appropriate therapy utilizing a multidisciplinary care approach to optimize patient outcomes.
2. Apply the updated management of locally advanced, recurrent breast cancer.
3. Facilitate patient referrals to suitable clinical trials, ensuring alignment with the most current and innovative therapeutic approaches.
4. Integrate updated knowledge on new biological findings and genomic information into the clinical translation process, enhancing their ability to provide personalized and evidence-based care in their practice.
