Special Episode: Ki67 as a Prognostic and Predictive Biomarker in HR-Positive/HER2-Negative Early Breast Cancer

This 45-minute podcast features the expertise of a pathologist and an oncologist highlighting important and practice-changing developments related to the use of Ki67 biomarker testing in patients with HR-positive/HER2-negative early breast cancer, such as new clinical data with immediate implications for patient care. Case-based, and with expert perspectives and recommendations, this podcast addresses key educational gaps and controversies related to optimal Ki67 biomarker testing methods, including challenges with standardization, interpreting findings, and potential therapeutic implications for patients with HR-positive/HER2-negative early breast cancer to optimize clinical outcomes.Topics covered include:Analytical validity of Ki67 as a diagnostic assay, application of results in clinical practice, and relevance to therapyCurrent and emerging therapies for HR-positive/HER2-negative early-stage breast cancercurrent standardized methodologies for Ki67 quantificationOptimizing workflows and communications with the multidisciplinary teamThe activity offers 0.75 CME/CMLE credit.The American Society for Clinical Pathology (ASCP) is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education (CME) for physicians.Learning Objectives:Upon completion of this activity, you should be able to:Incorporate the evidence on the current use of Ki67 as a predictive and prognostic biomarker into clinical practiceEvaluate the clinical validity, utility, and differences among Ki67 assessment techniquesIntegrate best practices for Ki67 testing methodology, standardization, and reportingIdentify patients with high-risk features who may benefit from the addition of CDK4/6 inhibitor therapy to endocrine therapy in the adjuvant settingFoster collaborative discussions and workflows between oncologists, pathologists and the multidisciplinary team on recent clinical evidence to guide personalized treatment planning for HR-positive/HER2-negative early breast cancerIdentify patients with HR-positive/HER2-negative early breast cancer that expresses Ki67 who may be eligible for ongoing clinical trialsFaculty: Sunil S.
