What are the latest trends and studies on early breast cancer recurrence and risk stratification? Our interactive, expert-led eLearning module covers the risk of recurrence in early breast cancer, treatment options available, methods for assessing the recurrence risk and clinical trial data on the three approved CDK4/6 inhibitors.

Early breast cancer and risk stratification

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 people with breast cancer and the prevention strategies being used
  • How to identify the level of recurrence risk in breast cancer and the tools and algorithms used to assess this risk
  • The aims, results and differences between the three CDK4/6 inhibitors currently approved to treat people with early breast cancer
