Faculty: Barbara O'Brien, MD

What are the key considerations when managing brain metastases in patients with breast and lung cancer? This online CME activity uses case-based discussion to examine the epidemiology and clinical burden of central nervous system (CNS) involvement and how brain metastases influence prognosis, therapeutic priorities, and treatment sequencing. Participants will evaluate emerging evidence on the intracranial activity of systemic therapies and consider how tumor biology, symptom burden, and prior treatment inform therapy selection. This activity also highlights multidisciplinary collaboration among medical oncology, radiation oncology, and neuro-oncology to support coordinated care including management of CNS-related toxicities and optimize outcomes for patients with brain metastases from breast or lung cancer.
