Program Overview
The breast cancer landscape is continuously evolving with rapid advances in research and treatment. Despite ongoing developments, rural and underserved communities face numerous disparities in cancer care due to specialist shortages, long travel distances, and limited resources. Therefore, disseminating the latest information to community oncology clinicians is vital in ensuring access to equitable cancer care. In this panel discussion, leading experts will share key data on early and metastatic breast cancer from the 2024 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting in Chicago. Insights on how the findings will impact community practice and strategies to improve breast cancer management in rural and underserved areas will also be discussed.
The content for this enduring activity was recorded on June 4, 2024.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to:
- Evaluate new data on novel agents and therapeutic strategies for patients with breast cancer
- Discuss how new clinical trial findings may affect treatment of patients with breast cancer
- Apply recently presented data and expert recommendations to optimize care for patients with breast cancer
