NEEDS ASSESSMENT SURVEY
The design of this year’s course and the development of our learning objective were derived from the results of a needs assessment study with our target learners. The study highlights both knowledge and practice gaps of our specific target learners, to review the results of the self-assessment study just visit: http://cme.med.harvard.edu/cmeups/pdf/00301279_NeedsAssessmentSurvey.pdf.

OBJECTIVE
- Review breast cancer risk factors and the controversies related to screening
- Examine pre-operative therapy challenges
- Understand the evolving approaches to pre-invasive disease
- Examine the latest protocols for determining who benefits from adjuvant and neoadjuvant therapies; anticipate, identify, and manage side e"ects in order to improve patients’ quality of life and compliance
- Explore the current surgical options for patients with breast cancer or increased risk
- Discuss the molecular heterogeneity of breast cancer and its therapeutic implications
- Review and discuss emerging clinical trial results on multiple aspects of breast cancer diagnosis, management, and treatment selected by experts as having practical application to current clinical practice.
ADVANCES. CHALLENGES.
Revolutionary advances in cell biology, genetics, neoadjuvant treatment strategies, and surgical techniques are o"ering new options for diagnosing, treating, and overcoming breast cancer. Jointly sponsored by Harvard Medical School, Dana-Farber/Brigham and Women’s Cancer Center, and Massachusetts General Hospital Cancer Center, this three-day course provides the most up-to-date, in-depth focus on this disease—from its pathogenesis to the economics of breast care health.
WORLD-CLASS FACULTY. MULTIDISCIPLINARY APPROACH.
The course offers a rare gathering of world-class educators in medical, surgical, and radiation oncology who will discuss challenging clinical cases, address controversial topics, and offer practical treatment strategies. Using a multidisciplinary approach, the course will enable you to:
- Become acquainted with the latest disease research, medications, therapies, and clinical trials, and the implications for your practice.
- Have the opportunity for one-to-one conversations about your clinical challenges.
- Learn about the key findings from the 2010 ASCO conference.
- Engage faculty in a range of settings, including small group courses, panel discussions, challenging case discussions, one-to-one conversations, and networking.
