Moderator: Joy Y. Wu, MD, PhD, Stanford University School of Medicine
Speakers: Patricia Juarez Camacho, PhD, CICESE, Mexico: “Bone Health and Metastatic Breast Cancer”
Serkin Park, DDS, MS, PhD, Korea University, Korea: "The Roles of Osteoblasts in Breast Cancer Bone Metastasis"
Azeez Farooki, MD, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, United States: “Adjuvant and Antifracture Effects of Antiresorptives in Postmenopausal Breast Cancer”
Description: In this webinar, we will be able to understand the basic science of breast cancer and bone health, including breast bone metastasis mechanisms. Additionally, we will grasp the role of osteoblasts in the bone metastatic microenvironment and recognize their diagnostic potential. Lastly, we will discuss the adjuvant and antifracture effects of antiresorptives in postmenopausal breast cancer.
The presentation will be split into three sections focusing on basic science, translational science, and clinical practice. Each talk will last approximately 25 minutes, with 5 minutes for a question-and-answer session.
Learning Objectives:
Examine the basic science aspect of breast cancer and bone health, including mechanisms of breast bone metastasis.
Understand the role of osteoblasts in the metastatic bone microenvironment and recognize their diagnostic potential.
Discuss adjuvant and anti-fracture effects of antiresorptives in postmenopausal breast cancer.
Collaborate and connect with peers on clinical care and research related to bone and mineral metabolism/disorders.
