Program Overview
This continuing education program will highlight recent advances in the treatment and management of breast cancer, with a focus on HER2-targeted therapy. The expert faculty will review the current treatment landscape for both early stage and metastatic breast cancer. Recent clinical trial data of emerged and emerging agents, particularly best practices for optimizing HER2-targeted therapy continuing into the adjuvant setting, will be reviewed and clinical relevance debated. At the conclusion of this CME program, learners will better understand the clinical implications of recent clinical trial data, to improve outcomes and quality of life in patients with breast cancer.
