Overview

This educational event is here to help oncologists and healthcare providers stay on the cutting edge of advanced breast cancer care. We aim to make it easier for you to bring the latest therapies and techniques into your everyday practice. The conference dives deep into the changing world of breast cancer treatment, focusing on the latest updates for triple-negative, inflammatory, locally advanced, and metastatic breast cancers.

Our team of experts, including specialists from MD Anderson and beyond, will show you the power of working together as a multidisciplinary team. You'll learn how to identify specific genetic and protein markers linked to breast cancer. Through real-world discussions and case studies, you'll gain practical insights into providing top-notch, patient-centered care.

We'll also spotlight ongoing clinical trials that offer new hope for treating advanced, rare, and aggressive breast cancers. Our goal is to give you the tools to improve diagnostic accuracy, tailor treatments to each patient's unique cancer profile, assess how well treatments are working, and know when to refer patients to clinical trials.

By joining this activity, you'll not only keep up with the latest advancements but also develop the skills needed to navigate the complex world of breast cancer care. This knowledge is essential for making informed decisions that can significantly improve patient outcomes and push breast cancer treatment forward.


Objectives
At the conclusion of this activity, learners will be able to:

  1. Implement strategies to enhance physician-to-physician communication about the clinical trial process and its benefits, facilitating increased patient referrals and promoting a research-oriented culture in breast cancer care.
  2. Utilize interactive, personalized web-based clinical decision tools to optimize treatment selection for metastatic breast cancer patients.
  3. 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.
  4. Identify the key components of an effective multidisciplinary care approach in breast cancer management, including team composition, collaborative processes, and their impact on patient outcomes.
  5. Discuss the proficiency in applying evidence-based strategies for the diagnosis and multidisciplinary treatment of locally advanced and recurrent breast cancer, including surgery, radiation, and systemic therapies.
