PROGRAM OVERVIEW
This educational program focuses on strategies to overcome resistance to endocrine therapy in early HR+/HER2- breast cancer. Through this enduring Grand Rounds session, healthcare practitioners will develop a plan to help patients consistently and tolerably use oral anti-cancer medications for HR+/HER2- early breast cancer treatment. The program will review outcomes data from clinical trials on CDK4/6 inhibitors in early HR+/HER2- breast cancer in an effort to improve the monitoring and managing of adverse events. Additionally, healthcare practitioners will develop strategies to help patients adhere to their treatment plan.
