This program explores new evidence that challenges the binary paradigm of HER2+ versus HER2- disease. Evidence is now available that specific antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) have demonstrated benefit not only in HER2+ disease but also in a new group of \\u201cHER2-low\\u201d patients. Clinicians will learn how to reframe their diagnostic and treatment paradigms, moving from a siloed view to a more nuanced assessment of breast cancer characteristics. Episodes will provide a greater understanding of how ADC targets and payloads, such as HER2 and Trop-2 can significantly improve a patient\\u2019s quality of life and extend their survival by increasing the pool of patients who may now benefit from ADCs. Aspects of diagnosing, treatment, and sequencing are discussed so that clinicians better understand how current and emerging ADCs address the unmet needs of patients with pretreated metastatic disease.

Video education created for patients is available for this topic. Visit www.mymededge.com to \\u201cprescribe\\u201d education that helps patients and caregivers learn more about this condition.
