Webinar: Biomarkers in Breast Cancer: Current Practice, Opportunities and Unmet Needs
Webinar Abstract: Biomarkers are essential to define breast cancer subtypes that predict prognosis and guide treatment and to guide selection of Rx in metastatic disease. 94% of breast cancer is curable and biomarkers play a critical role in identifying patients with early stage cancer who may benefit from novel therapies. Biomarkers can be useful in evaluation of symptoms in survivors but should not be used in asymptomatic survivors outside of a clinical trial. More research is needed to identify high risk patients who can be targeted for early intervention and improved outcomes.
