A Continuing Medical Education Audio Program
STATEMENT OF NEED / TARGET AUDIENCE
Breast cancer is one of the most rapidly evolving fields in medical oncology. Published results from ongoing clinical trials lead to the continuous emergence of new therapeutic agents and changes in the indications for existing treatments. In order to offer optimal patient care — including the option of clinical trial participation — clinicians must be well informed of these advances. To bridge the gap between research and patient care, the program features discussions with leading oncology investigators. By providing access to the latest research developments and expert perspectives, this CME program assists medical oncologists, hematologists and hematology-oncology fellows with the formulation of up-to-date clinical management strategies.
