Description: 

This symposium is designed for Oncology nurses who play a critical role in the care of patients with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (mTNBC). With limited treatment options available for this aggressive disease, Trodelvy® (sacituzumab govitecan) has emerged as a key advancement, offering improved survival outcomes for patients who have progressed on prior therapies.1
Nursing experts and oncology specialists will discuss the clinical benefits of Trodelvy, and its impact on patient survival, as demonstrated in the ASCENT trial. The session will emphasise the nurse’s role in treatment administration, patient education, and proactive management of side effects to optimise patient outcomes.
Practical insights on recognising and managing adverse events, supporting adherence, and addressing patient concerns will also be shared. The symposium will highlight the importance of time in treatment decisions, focusing on quality of life and patient-centred care.
By the end of this session, nurses will gain valuable knowledge on integrating Trodelvy into treatment plans, enhancing patient support, and improving the overall care experience for individuals living with mTNBC.
