38th Annual Miami Breast Cancer Conference® Clinical Case Vignette Series™

Release Date: May 25, 2021
Expiration Date: May 25, 2022

Activity Overview

Breast cancer represents a complicated family of diseases for which detection, diagnosis, and multimodal management strategies are continually evolving. With each lesson learned about the biology of these diseases, and with each improvement to the standards of care, new questions, challenges, and controversies arise. Therefore, practice-focused education that enables you to integrate the highest-quality methodologies into your clinic is essential.

This Clinical Case Vignette Series™ program provides an in-depth review of some of the key highlights from the 38th Annual Miami Breast Cancer Conference® held in March 2021. This unique and engaging multimedia activity consists of expert interviews on challenging clinical cases and other topics important to the practicing community clinician. These experts explore different clinical vignettes and provide evidence-based strategies, as well as discussion of current clinical data that are changing outcomes for patients with breast cancer. The program is designed for those who did not view the live webcast and to help reinforce learnings for those who did.
