Target Audience and Goal Statement

This activity is intended for oncology nurses and nurse practitioners.

To enhance the ability of oncology pharmacists, nurses/NPs who manage and/or interact with patients with breast cancer, to provide information, insights, and solutions, to identify, address, and rectify inequities in oncology healthcare delivery.

Upon completion of this activity, participants will:

  1. Analyze current evidence for biologic and genetic factors that influence breast cancer prevalence and outcomes, including triple-negative breast cancer
  2. Identify how screening and treatment guidelines for breast cancer, including triple-negative breast cancer, can be individualized to address the needs of patient groups, with the understanding that medical care is not "once size fits all"
  3. Apply improved breast cancer care practices by identifying and addressing multiple factors that affect those patient groups affected by inequalities and poor healthcare access
