Bringing Equity and Efficacy Together in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer: A Practical Guide for the Oncology Nurse
This Oncology Nursing Society (ONS) Chapter initiative is targeted to oncology nurses and nurse practitioners, specifically those practicing in the southeastern United States. Strategically designed to foster an understanding of both the disease state complexity and far-reaching racial disparity intrinsic to triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), this educational session will begin with an appraisal of TNBC pathophysiology and the multifaceted etiologies of the disparate outcomes seen among African-American patients. Expert faculty will then guide attendees through a real-world exploration of antibody-drug conjugates, including structure, mechanism of action, and a dedicated focus on the effective anticipation, recognition, and mitigation of adverse events. Finally, attendees will take part in an interactive case-based discussion centered on how the oncology nurse can provision patient-centric care that is both efficacious and equitable through the incorporation of novel therapeutic approaches and the adoption of renewed perspectives.
Target Audience
Oncology Nurse Specialists, Registered Nurses, Nurse Practitioners
Learning Objectives
- Discuss the multifaceted etiology of the racial disparity observed in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), with a focus on both biologic and non-biologic factors, and identify tangible strategies oncology nurses can employ to promote equitable care and outcomes for all patients.
- Review antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) structure, mechanism of action, and real-world clinical considerations, with a particular focus on toxicity management, for oncology nurses who care for TNBC patients receiving ADCs.
- Examine completed, ongoing, and planned clinical trial data for ADCs as part of the expanding TNBC treatment calculus, including recent FDA approvals and updated guideline recommendations.
- Using a patient case-driven approach, design evidence-based treatment plans for patients with TNBC, with an emphasis on the placement of novel therapies in the shifting TNBC treatment calculus, strategies for anticipating, recognizing, and treating adverse events, and effectively integrating socioeconomic and other non-biologic factors into equitable cancer care.
