SUMMARY:Targeted treatments and immunotherapies for breast cancer - January 2025
DESCRIPTION:This course is ideal for research nurses\, clinical nurse specialists\, pharmacists\, clinical trials and other staff who already have some knowledge of the different types of breast cancers.\nDelivered over two morning sessions\, Dr Elaine Vickers – a leading independent educator on the science of new cancer treatments – will guide you through many of the most relevant topics relating to modern systemic treatments for breast cancer. \nElaine will firstly explain why cancer arises and look at the different ways that the DNA in our cells gets damaged. She’ll also look at the types of damage found in breast cancer cells and explain why we only have targeted treatments that match a few of the mutations we find. \nElaine will then explain the science behind hormone therapies\, targeted therapies\, and immunotherapies given to patients with hormone receptor-positive\, HER2-positive\, and triple-negative breast cancer. \nAudience\nThis Introducing Targeted Treatments and Immunotherapies for Breast Cancer course is ideal for research nurses\, clinical nurse specialists\, pharmacists and clinical trials staff who are already working with and have some knowledge of treatments for breast cancer. It may also be of interest to other healthcare professionals involved in the diagnosis and treatment of people with breast cancer. \nAs ever\, Elaine will use colourful illustrations and jargon-free explanations to help learners gain a broad understanding of the concepts covered. \nProgramme\nSession One: Wednesday 29 January\, 1.30pm – 3.30pm\n\nIntroduction to breast cancer\n\n\nHow and why breast cancer arises\nCommon mutations in breast cancer cells\nHow\, when and why breast cancer sometimes spreads\n\n2.
