Endocrine therapy is currently the cornerstone of treatment for advanced hormone receptor–positive (HR+) breast cancer in both pre- and postmenopausal patients. However, not all advanced HR+ breast cancers respond to first-line endocrine therapy, and those that do respond eventually relapse. Agents that target critical pathways involved in resistance to endocrine therapy, such as cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) 4/6 inhibitors, have been approved by the US Food & Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of HR+/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2–negative (HER2−) advanced/metastatic breast cancer. Now, CDK 4/6 inhibitors are being investigated for the treatment of early stage HR+, HER2- breast cancer.
This web-based, on-demand, activity will feature interprofessional perspectives and expert insights on the latest emerging evidence for CDK 4/6 inhibitors in the adjuvant setting for early breast cancer. The faculty panel will also provide their perspectives and best practice recommendations for improving adherence and side effect management. Case-based discussion will provide practical approaches for integrating CDK 4/6 inhibitors into real-world clinical practice for the treatment of early stage HR+, HER2- breast cancer.

Overview
Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be better able to:
- Evaluate recent evidence supporting the use of CDK 4/6 inhibitors for the adjuvant treatment of HR+, HER2- early breast cancer to prevent early disease recurrences and reduce the risk of distant metastases.
- Assess the efficacy of CDK 4/6 inhibitors as adjuvant therapy in high-risk early breast cancer.
- Integrate strategies to promote and improve adherence in patients receiving oral CDK 4/6 inhibitors for the treatment of breast cancer.
- Develop a plan for assessing, monitoring, and managing side effects that may occur with oral CDK 4/6 inhibitors to prevent and reduce toxicities, treatment delays, and treatment discontinuation.
- Implement shared decision-making to foster co-creation of treatment plans, optimal adherence, and management of side effects with patients and their families.
Target Audience
This educational activity is intended for advanced practice clinicians, physician assistants, advanced practice nurses and pharmacists, oncology nurses, nurse navigators, and other healthcare professionals who are involved with the direct treatment and management of patients with HR+, HER2- breast cancer.
