Treating breast cancer during pregnancy is a difficult clinical scenario for healthcare teams and patients alike. Learn about how cancer care teams address this challenge by joining the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers at 5:00 pm CT on March 5 for a 60-minute webinar: Modern Management of Breast Cancer During Pregnancy.
Presenters of this free webinar will discuss how pregnancy-associated breast cancer is one of the most challenging scenarios encountered in breast cancer care, because healthcare professionals are making decisions that affect not just the life of a young patient, but also the growing fetus. The risks and benefits of each treatment modality must be discussed with the patient so that she fully understands and feels confident about the treatment decisions she and her physician are making (culturally appropriate decision making), whether this includes surgery while pregnant, systemic therapy, early delivery of the child, or terminating the pregnancy.
