Medical Breast Training Program - Session Seven: Navigation for the Cancer Patient - Online CME Course

Most often it is the primary care doctor or women’s health specialist receiving the pathology report confirming breast cancer. In session seven, you will become familiar with the various surgical options for early stage breast cancer. Systemic therapy for breast cancer is wide ranging and the timing and duration of various treatment strategies differs. Having knowledge about chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and endocrine therapy will help you gain confidence discussing a new breast cancer diagnosis and aid in the care of your patients as they transition to survivorship. Radiation therapy is not a one size fits all treatment. Here you will learn indications for radiation therapy and be introduced to various treatment protocols available to patients. But now for the tough part, how do you tell the patient they have cancer? We will guide you through the do’s and don’ts of delivering bad news.
