<HR SIZE=1>Program Overview
The Tailoring ErbB-Directed Therapies for Optimized Care of Breast Cancer Patients symposium is designed to educate and update physicians on the latest ErbB2-targeted breast cancer treatments. Insights gained from studies of the structure and function of the ErbB receptor family, as well as their clinical implications, will be discussed. Two lectures will review current data regarding the treatment of early and advanced/metastatic ErbB2<SUP>+</SUP> breast cancer. In addition, important molecule pathways involved in the cross-talk of ErbB and hormone receptor signaling as well as downstream pathways that modulate ErbB function and contribute to resistance will be examined. Finally, the potential role of breast cancer stem cells in the natural history of the disease and the possibility of targeting this cell population with biologic agents will be discussed. Practical concerns such as patient selection and adverse event management will be considered along with the theoretical basis of ongoing trials and current hypotheses. The symposium will update oncologists on current treatments for ErbB2<SUP>+</SUP> breast cancer as well as strategies emerging from the laboratory and being translated into improvements in clinical care and patient selection.
This presentation was selected by the American Society of Clinical Oncology<SUP>®</SUP> as an independent educational activity held in conjunction with an ASCO<SUP>®</SUP> meeting. This presentation is not sponsored or endorsed by ASCO.
<HR SIZE=1>Educational Objectives
At the conclusion of this meeting, you should be able to:
<LI class=body1>Discuss how the structure of ErbB receptors impacts signaling mechanisms and the implications this has on the mechanism of action of targeted inhibitors <LI class=body1>Describe the interactions between the ErbB and estrogen receptor signaling pathways and review preclinical and clinical data evaluating combination regimens targeting both pathways <LI class=body1>Recognize potential mechanisms of resistance to ErbB2-targeted agents, including activation of alternate receptor signaling pathways such as insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor and Akt/mammalian target of rapamycin, inactivation of tumor suppressors, and ErbB2 receptor processing <LI class=body1>Evaluate recent clinical data from trials investigating the use of ErbB2-targeted agents in patients with previously untreated or relapsed/refractory metastatic breast cancer <LI class=body1>Review the efficacy and safety of ErbB2 inhibitors in the treatment of early-stage breast cancer as well as the rationale and schemas for next-generation adjuvant and neoadjuvant trials of ErbB2-targeted agents
Explain the breast cancer stem cell theory and the potential role of biologic agents in targeting this cell population
