Further information
Evaluation questions will be asked at the end of each module. You must achieve a score of 70% or above to pass the course and receive your CME certificate.
At the end of the course, you will also be asked to complete a short survey, giving you the chance to provide feedback on your experience of the module.
On completion of this course, participants will understand:
- The risk of recurrence in early breast cancer and the risk factors associated with it
- The emerging treatment options for treating patients with breast cancer and the prevention strategies being used
- How to identify the level of risk of recurrence in breast cancer and the tools and algorithms used to assess this risk
- The aims, results, and differences of the three CDK4/6 inhibitors currently approved to treat early breast cancer patients
