NCCN 2018 Congress Webinar Series: Breast Cancer

Breast cancer continues to be the second most common cause of cancer death in women in the United States.  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.  The NCCN 2018 Congress Webinar Series: Breast Cancer with Updates from the 2017 San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium will provide expert insights on the current standard of care for patients with breast cancer and include the latest clinical research updates from the 2017 SABCS to assist clinicians in formulating breast cancer management strategies.

The goal of this project is to ensure that members of a multidisciplinary team, including physicians, nurses, pharmacists and other relevant healthcare professionals, have the knowledge and skills necessary to apply the standards of care to their practice and healthcare setting for patients with breast cancer.

Target Audience

This educational program is designed to meet the educational needs of physicians, nurses, pharmacists, and other healthcare professionals who manage patients with breast cancer.
