Breast cancer: towards a precision medicine - Session 1 (duration : 65 min.)
Chemotherapy represents a standard treatment in the management of breast cancer. However, not all women will benefit from chemotherapy, which can be associated with major side effects and impact their quality of life. Genomic testing is a new tool for identifying patients who will benefit from chemotherapy.
- General introduction – Challenges and limitations of chemotherapy treatment in breast cancer - Prof. Evandro de Azambuja
- Towards a precision medicine - Predicting the probability of the benefit from chemotherapy - Dr Kevin Punie
Breast cancer: who will and who will not benefit from chemotherapy? - Session 2 (duration : 68 min.)
TAILORx, RxPONDER, Mindact are some of the studies that are leading to a real revolution in the identification of patients to whom chemotherapy should be offered. These studies have resulted in the determination of practical scores. Physicians testify about their experience.
- Part 1 - Explanation and interpretation of the results of the main prospective randomized studies: TAILORx, RxPONDER, Mindact – Prof. Stephen Chia
- Part 2 - Identification of patients with low/high clinical risk who may benefit from chemotherapy – Dr Donatienne Taylor
- Part 3 - Interest of the tests in women under 50 years old – Dr Kevin Punie
- Part 4 - Experiences of Belgian physicians who use the test – Prof. Evandro de Azambuja and Dr Donatienne Taylor
Breast cancer: genomic testing in practice - Session 3 (duration : 71 min.)
If the interest of avoiding a heavy treatment such as chemotherapy is obvious at the individual level, it is also true at the societal level from a pharmaco-economic point of view! Genomic tests are also easy to interpret ... Physicians explain how to use them routinely and how these tests can support decision-making in the treatment of breast cancer.
- Part 1 - Health economic impact of prognostic and predictive tests – Prof. Lieven Annemans
- Part 2.1 - Case studies - Case 1: High Ki67 - Prof. Stephen Chia
- Part 2.2 - Case studies - Case 2 : Low clinical risk – Dr Kevin Punie
- Part 2.3 - Case studies - Case 3 : 3 Using GEP to help deciding on the use of adjuvant chemotherapy – Prof. Evandro de Azambuja
- Part 3 - The guidelines: test positioning – Dr Donatienne Taylor
Global objective
To raise awareness among healthcare providers about the value of genomic testing in optimizing and individualizing breast cancer management.
Specific objectives - Session 1
By the end of this module, participants will have increased their knowledge of the following topics:
- Criteria determining the decision to treat breast cancer with chemotherapy
- Benefits and limitations of chemotherapy
- Principles of genomic testing
- Predictive and prognostic value of the tests
Specific objectives - Session 2
To present the studies that led to the development of genomic tests that allow the selection of patients who will or will not benefit from chemotherapy. By the end of this module, participants will have increased their knowledge of the topics:
- Literature underlying the development of genomic tests
- Interest of genomic testing in patients under 50 years of age
Specific objectives - Session 3
To familiarize physicians with the use of genomic testing in clinical practice. By the end of this module, participants will have improved their knowledge of the following topics:
- Pharmacoeconomic interest of genomic testing
- Case Studies
- International guidelines
