Program Overview

Breast cancer research continues to advance scientific and clinical knowledge of the disease and bring new techniques, treatments, and strategies to practicing clinicians. As such, clinicians need to stay current with best practices and clinical updates in prevention, screening, diagnosis, and treatment of breast cancer. Understanding results from recent clinical trials and key topics in breast cancer will help clinicians optimize management of patients with breast cancer and ultimately improve patient outcomes.

Learning Objectives

After completion of this program, attendees should be able to:

  • APPLY evidence-based strategies for preventing, detecting, and diagnosing breast cancer in at-risk patients.
  • CONDUCT biomarker and genetic testing in patients with breast cancer using evidence-based principles to identify actionable mutations and other tumor    characteristics that influence treatment approaches.
  • INCORPORATE new results from preclinical research and clinical trials in all aspects of breast cancer care presented during oral, poster and educational sessions at the annual San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium into clinical practice.
  • INTEGRATE new data from clinical trials of novel therapeutics in breast cancer into local treatment patterns to align current practices with evidence based approaches, overcome resistance mechanisms, and enhance patient outcomes.
  • DESIGN treatment plans for patients with breast cancer using individualized treatment strategies based on breast cancer subtype, clinical characteristics, and patient preferences and goals to optimize therapy.
