Optimizing Early Breast Cancer Outcomes in the Community Setting: An Expert Review of Emerging Therapies and Evolving Standards of Care in HR+/HER2- Disease

Target Audience

Community medical oncologists, oncology advanced practice providers (NPs, PAs,) oncology pharmacists, oncology nurses, and other members of the community-based interprofessional, multidisciplinary breast cancer care team.

Learning Objectives

  • Review the epidemiology and clinical characteristics of HR+, HER2- early-breast cancer (EBC), and identify patients at an elevated risk of disease recurrence as a means of guiding treatment.
  • Appraise the current treatment landscape in HR+, HER2- EBC, including the established and emerging evidentiary base for novel therapies in the adjuvant setting, expert consensus guidelines, and FDA-approved indications.
  • Recognize treatment-related adverse events associated with oral therapies used in HR+, HER2- EBC and implement evidence-supported mitigation and management protocols.
  • Using real-world patient case examples, design on-label treatment plans for HR+, HER2- EBC at high risk for recurrence, emphasizing the critical need for effective communication and coordination strategies among the multidisciplinary community-based breast cancer care team.
  • Evaluate adaptive approaches for promoting adherence and persistence to oral anticancer therapies, highlighting common reasons for noncompliance and the impact of patient counseling and shared decision-making (SDM).
