Miami Cancer Institute’s Breast Cancer Genetics Update provides a comprehensive overview of breast cancer treatment and genomic testing in patients with BRCA1/2 +/- PALB2, HR+/HER2 – breast cancer, HER2+ disease, triple-negative breast cancer and populations with ESR1 mutations.
Deaths per year from breast cancer are declining because of advances in HER2+ disease. The incorporation of genomic assays has allowed us to better tailor our treatment recommendations for patients with HR+/HER2 – breast cancer. A better understanding of molecular mechanisms underlying pathogenesis of HER2+ disease has generated targeted therapy options to combat this poor prognosis. This course provides learners with an overview of the recent advances in available treatment for HR+/HER2- early breast cancer patients and in advanced disease population with ESR1 mutation.
This course also addresses current and emerging therapeutic options for triple-negative breast cancer. The role of adjuvant immunotherapy in early-stage disease is discussed as well as the role of additional therapy in those patients with residual disease. The course assesses the chemotherapy backbone of treatment planning in triple-negative patients.
This course concludes by delving further into genetic testing the role of a cancer genetic counselor becomes essential when considering universal testing for the most actionable genes (BRCA1/2 +/- PALB2) and guiding treatment plans when multi-gene panels identify genes of uncertain significance.
