The goal of this initiative is to increase awareness, knowledge, and competence in the need for culturally sensitive, evidence-based, guideline recommended approaches for the treatment of breast and prostate cancer in Black patients.

This information was originally presented at the NCCN 23rd Annual Conference: Improving the Quality, Effectiveness, and Efficiency of Cancer Care held in Orlando, Florida, from March 22 - 24, 2018.

Experts discuss the latest clinical data and evolving role of CDK4/6 inhibitors in breast cancer across disease stages and explore emerging therapies, biomarker-driven approaches, and considerations for individualizing patient care in this certified on-demand webcast.
It is important for clinicians to learn about these risk assessment models, understand their limitations and benefits, and determine the best breast cancer risk reduction strategy that can be used for an individual.
Join us for this engaging session led by expert oncology faculty to learn the latest evidence and recommendations with CDK4/6 inhibitors for breast cancer. Insights on how to best mitigate CDK4/6 inhibitor–related adverse events will also be highlighted.

The population of survivors living long-term with incurable breast cancer has grown rapidly, and clinicians may not be aware of how to manage the many unique issues and needs faced by this population.

The treatment landscape for breast cancer has shifted dramatically over the last several decades and, despite the increasing incidence of breast cancer, overall survival rates continue to improve.

The decision-making process for management of metastatic breast cancer should involve careful consideration of the available evidence for selection of optimal therapy and a detailed discussion with patients of the benefits and risks associated with all possible treatment strategies.

Advances in diagnosis and treatment have increased the survival of patients with advanced breast cancer; however, longevity is associated with an increased detection of brain metastases in these individuals.

There is a growing emphasis on individualizing surgical treatment based on patient and tumor specific factors.
