Breast Cancer
The Academy of Oncology Nurse & Patient Navigators (AONN+) and Eli Lilly and Company Medical Affairs are pleased to present a live webinar designed to facilitate conversations with patients regarding adherence to breast cancer treatments. Attendees will have an opportunity to participate in a live Q&A following the presentation.
Oral oncolytic drugs have a multitude of benefits for patients, including ease of use, improved quality of life, fewer clinic visits, and no need for IV therapy.

Do comorbid diagnoses affect breast cancer screening rates? The authors of this study present their findings.
Patients with endocrine-resistant HR-positive/HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer require novel therapeutic alternatives as a result of the poor outcomes of currently available later-line medications.
The emergence of innovative targeted therapy in combination with endocrine therapy has shown improvement in HR-positive breast cancer results, but the US Food and Drug Administration–approved combinations all include endocrine therapies in their regimens, leaving an unmet need in patients who develop endocrine resistance.
Each year, approximately 250,000 cases of breast cancer are diagnosed in the United States.
Abemaciclib plus nonsteroidal aromatase inhibitors were shown to be a successful initial treatment in a Japanese subpopulation, with a tolerable safety profile, consistent with findings in the whole population in treating patients with HR-positive, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer.
The therapeutic advantage of alpelisib over fulvestrant in the treatment of patients with HR-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer and other malignancies is further enhanced by a matched/weighted analysis comparing BYLieve with the real-world scenario.
Endocrine therapy used in combination with CDK4/6 inhibitors, in particular, have transformed the metastatic breast cancer landscape, promisingly improving progression-free survival and overall survival among patients with HR-positive, HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer.
