program overview
Program Description
Although metastatic breast cancer (mBC) remains incurable, significant gains in our understanding of its molecular basis have resulted in new, targeted therapies. These advances, combined with expert care by interdisciplinary health care teams, are making prolonged life, delayed progression, and preserved quality of life a possibility for many patients.
Format
eNewsletter with interactive benchmarking
Goal
To improve awareness of the latest guidelines and therapies for mBC, encourage a team approach to care, and improve patient adherence to therapies for improved outcomes.
Learning Objectives
