Length:
45 Minutes
CME Deadline:
December 2, 2027
This activity is open to members only:
Log InTarget Audience:
Surgeons and other healthcare providers with a special interest in the treatment of breast disease, particularly recurrent breast cancer.
Objectives:
At the end of this activity, participants will be able to:
- Understand the unique challenges and considerations of treating locally recurrent breast cancer.
- Identify and appropriately implement surgical options for patients with locally recurrent breast cancer.
Description:
The management of recurrent breast cancer remains one of the most complex and multidisciplinary challenges in breast oncology. Treatment decisions require thoughtful integration of prior treatments, disease biology, patient preferences, and evolving local and systemic therapies. Rather than a traditional lecture format, this interactive webinar will feature a multidisciplinary tumor board centered on real-world clinical cases, highlighting the collaborative decision-making process among breast surgery, medical oncology, and radiation oncology. Using a multidisciplinary case-based format, attendees will gain insight into how multidisciplinary teams navigate complex recurrence scenarios where management is individualized and evidence continues to evolve.
