This one-day virtual conference will feature seven engaging case-based discussions encompassing the topics of emerging data on novel therapy classes, up-to-date management and treatment strategies, and best practices in supportive care for patients with breast cancer. Attendees will be able to earn 5.5 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™, ANCC contact hours, ACPE contact hours, MOC points, and ILNA points.
ODAConTM will be chaired by Constance Visovsky, PhD, RN, ACNP, FAAN, Director and Lewis & Leona Hughes Endowed Chair of the College of Nursing at the University of South Florida.
“The breast cancer field is constantly and rapidly changing with emerging data on novel therapies, which creates a challenge for clinicians to stay informed of the best treatment options and supportive care strategies for our patients,” commented Dr. Visovsky. “By attending this year’s ODAConTM, you will learn how to stay up-to-date with the evolving landscape in the breast cancer field in order to gain more confidence in your practice and strategies for improving your patients’ outcomes and quality of life.”
Dr. Visovsky will be exploring the mechanisms by which CDK4/6 inhibitors in combination with endocrine therapy are thought to overcome resistance to endocrine therapy in ER-positive metastatic breast cancer, as well as the importance of early and aggressive identification of side effects to minimize toxicity.
Janie Metsker, RN, BSN, CN-BN, Clinical Coordinator at Saint Luke’s Koontz Center for Advanced Breast Cancer, will explain the benefit of PARP inhibitors for breast cancer in patients with germline BRCA mutations, as well as the role PI3K inhibitors for patients with a PIK3CA mutation and HR-positive, HER2-negative disease. She will also highlight the safety profiles of both classes and the importance of counseling patients about the side effects they may experience.
Julia A. LaBarbera, NP, Nurse Practitioner in the Hematology/Oncology Department at UCLA Health, will explore the increasing use of antibody-drug conjugates in breast cancer, as well as the uses of immune checkpoint inhibition, a therapeutic strategy which is moving to earlier disease settings. She will highlight the management of the unique side effects of these highly efficacious treatments.
Abbey Kaler, MS, ABRN, FNP-C, Nurse Practitioner at the University of Texas, MD Anderson Cancer Center, will review the emerging data on HER2 tyrosine kinase inhibitors and monoclonal antibodies for breast cancer. In addition, she will compare their activity and safety profiles in combination with other medications for breast cancer and the differing considerations for their management.
