Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women in the United States and is second only to lung cancer as a cause of cancer death. The treatment of breast cancer is rapidly evolving. Results from numerous clinical trials continue to expand new therapeutic options, treatment and risk reduction strategies, and diagnostic/prognostic tools. Healthcare professionals need to be educated on current and emerging scientific data to make evidence-based treatment decisions and to provide optimal care for patients with breast cancer.

As the complexity and importance of screening, testing, and individualized treatment strategies for breast cancer have increased, so has clinicians’ reliance on the NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology^® (NCCN Guidelines^®) for Breast Cancer and NCCN’s educational interventions to increase knowledge and bridge the gaps between knowledge and competence.

This webinar series will provide an in-depth analysis of the evidence and clinical decision-making that led to the development of the NCCN Guidelines® for Breast Cancer, to ensure that oncology healthcare professionals have a clear understanding of the current standard of care for patients with breast cancer and to assist them with formulating breast cancer management strategies.
