Item Details:

This 45-minute podcast is the first of two designed to help pathologists understand the latest evidence regarding HER2-low breast cancer, HER2 testing guidelines, the implications for the pathology team as HER2-low therapies emerge, and ways to streamline communications with oncologists and other members of the cancer care team. The podcast features authentic patient cases, scenarios, and discussion of digital slide images to engage learners.

This first podcast will help pathologists understand the science and emerging evidence around HER2-low breast cancer, as well as changes to practice that will be necessary in preparation for anticipated approvals of HER2-low breast cancer therapies and includes the following topics:

Science and emerging evidence around HER2-low breast cancer
Considerations for laboratories and cancer centers related to the potential approval of HER2-low therapies (eg, the need to document HER2 IHC and ISH status, enhanced communication with oncologists and other members of the cancer care team)
Application through cases of patients with breast cancer along the lower spectrum of HER2 expression
Suggestions for effective coordination and collaboration among pathologists, oncologists, and other key members of the cancer care team

The activity offers 0.75 CME/CMLE credit.

Learning Objectives:

Upon completion of this activity, you should be able to:

Describe the science and emerging evidence around the diagnosis and treatment of HER2-low breast cancer

Discuss potential updates to laboratory processes and procedures to prepare for the anticipated emergence of HER2-low as a diagnostic category of breast cancer

Apply principles of leadership to engage and inform members of the cancer care team about ongoing research around HER2-low breast cancer

Outline ways to improve communication and coordination among pathologists, oncologists, and other members of the cancer care team when discussing HER2 test results in patients with breast cancer
