One of the goals of continuing professional development is to acquire and retain knowledge that will affect clinical practice and patient health outcomes. The following case challenge is a clinical self-assessment presented as an educational activity for CME credit. The patient cases are designed to test your current knowledge and skills in the treatment of patients with metastatic breast cancer. Approximately 207,090 new cases of breast cancer are estimated for 2010, with 39,840 deaths anticipated this year. Active research with standard agents has defined better ways to administer available treatments, which, when applied in the clinical setting, can have significant positive effects on patient health outcomes. Moreover, some data that are emerging from studies of investigational therapies indicate that new safe and effective options may be on the horizon, particularly for the most challenging subtypes of breast cancer. We invite you to test your knowledge of metastatic breast cancer in this case challenge, which includes questions addressing treatment choices that should be based on patient history and tumor characteristics. Please note that these questions are designed for assessment, and you are not penalized for answering the questions incorrectly. Data from this survey activity will help facilitate recommendations for future educational activities that will best meet the educational and clinical performance gaps identified. This case-based activity is part of a curriculum series on treatment of metastatic breast cancer. Why not assess your clinical practice and earn CME credit in the process?
Your participation in this initiative is greatly appreciated.
(Please note that this activity is designed to provide feedback only for certain questions in the self-assessment.)
