Statement of Need

There is a critical need for providing physicians treating breast cancer with the most up-to-date, scientifically-based and practical information on the various strategies for personalizing therapies for this malignancy. There is a large number of effective drug, radiation and surgical therapies for treating breast cancer. And because there is also an increasing number of novel molecular diagnostic techniques such as gene micro arrays and other gene profiling tests, molecular diagnostics measuring phosphorylation in cell signaling, tests measuring circulating tumor cells, digital mammography, and various other tests, physicians are now better equipped to better predict which targeted therapies and chemotherapies will be optimal or ineffective for specific patient sub-populations with breast cancer.

The following is a complete listing of all 45 sessions of educational enduring materials. You may partici[pate by viewing or listening to any or all of these 45 sessions after reviewing the following pages containing the ACCME-required information for any CME enduring educational material. And you may doenload the slides, MP3s, PodCasts, and even order a DVD-ROM of the entire program (all 45 sessions).
