Moving Toward Improved Outcomes in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer

Interactive Video Lecture

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive subtype of breast cancer that is particularly common among Black women. The treatment landscape for TNBC has recently grown to include immune checkpoint inhibitors and the antibody–drug conjugate sacituzumab govitecan—novel agents associated with both substantial benefit and challenging toxicities. This activity provides expert advice on how oncology/hematology APPs can integrate these new agents into practice, including recommendations on patient education, monitoring, managing toxicities, and overcoming healthcare disparities.

Registered Nurses: 1.00 Nursing contact hours, includes 1.00 hour of pharmacology credit Physician Assistants: maximum of 1.00 hours of AAPA Category 1 CME credits
