Activity Details

Accredited By

The University of Nebraska Medical Center

Target Audience

The target audience for this activity is clinicians/HCPs who treat patients with HER2+ breast cancer inclusive of a multidisciplinary care team (community and academic medical oncologists, surgeons, radiation oncologists, experts in diagnostic imaging, pathologists, oncology nurses, nurse practitioners, genetic counselors, and pharmacists).

Learning Objectives

After participating in this activity, participants should be better able to:

• Discuss the role of HER2 in the pathogenesis of breast cancer and the rationale for using HER2-directed therapies in patients with this disease subtype
• Evaluate clinical trial data of current and emerging therapies for patients with HER2+ breast cancer
• Develop strategies using a multidisciplinary approach with physicians and nurse/advanced practitioners to address complicated cases of HER2+ breast cancer

Activity Description

Treating patients with cancer is shifting from focusing solely on disease management to more of a patient-centered approach. This includes providing greater attention to psychosocial issues, quality of life, patient empowerment, and survivorship. To address these issues, many institutions are increasingly providing care by multidisciplinary teams. This activity aims to provide community-based clinicians with clinical recommendations to address challenging cases of HER2+ breast cancer via breast cancer experts.

Statement of Educational Need

Because of the volume of research and approvals regarding the use of anti-HER2-based therapies for patients with breast cancer, clinicians are challenged to evaluate and interpret the clinical significance of emerging data, both scientific and clinical. Thus, clinicians treating patients with HER2+ breast cancer need expert guidance to evaluate emerging data, use existing anti-HER2-based therapies safely and effectively, and plan strategies to appropriately integrate novel agents into practice when they become available, in consideration of patient needs and preferences.
