One of 5 lectures from Individualizing Targeted Therapies for Breast Cancer in the New Decade, a symposium held in conjunction with the 45th Annual Meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology. The lectures review the latest information on targeted therapies in breast cancer, including endocrine, anti-HER2, and antiangiogenic agents in novel combinations and in patients with distinct tumor characteristics. The rationale behind the use of these agents and the newest approaches to selecting targets and effectively optimizing and individualizing novel targeted therapies is discussed. Together these 5 lectures link evidence from key clinical trials and authoritative guidelines for case-based applications that provide the tools to optimize decision making to improve patient outcomes.
