Panelists discuss how evaluating quality of life in patients on CDK4/6 inhibitors requires asking open-ended questions beyond just adverse effects to assess social functioning, work capacity, and emotional well-being (with quality of life data showing these agents maintain rather than significantly improve outcomes), and how multidisciplinary care can be optimized through nurse navigators for additional patient touchpoints, coordination with subspecialty colleagues like pulmonology and cardio-oncology for rare toxicities, and utilizing learners and standardized workflows to manage the high patient volume despite limited pharmacist resources.

Panelists discuss how treatment sequencing in early-stage breast cancer requires a stepwise approach, adding one therapy at a time (typically radiation, then hormonal therapy, then CDK4/6 inhibitors, with special considerations for BRCA-positive patients receiving olaparib first), while in metastatic settings the sequencing is more straightforward with first-line CDK4/6 inhibitors plus endocrine therapy, and how patient adherence can be optimized through shared decision-making, detailed toxicity education with graded explanations, frequent health care team touchpoints especially during the challenging first 90 days, and addressing the unique adherence challenges in early-stage patients who are asymptomatic compared to metastatic patients.

An expert discusses innovative strategies to boost vaccine administration efficiency and accessibility—including prefilled syringes with attached needles, ergonomic and labeling improvements, needle-free options, and shelf-stable auto-injectors—all aimed at enhancing provider workflow and patient experience, especially in high-volume or underserved settings.

Panelists discuss how analysis from the Miami Breast Cancer Conference showing 60% of eligible early breast cancer patients are not receiving CDK4/6 inhibitors reflects disparities between academic and community settings, particularly affecting older patients and those with fewer lymph nodes, while identifying remaining unmet needs including better management of quality-of-life impacting adverse effects like fatigue and diarrhea, reducing the burden of frequent laboratory monitoring, and addressing financial toxicity and administrative barriers that affect both patients and health care staff.

Panelists discuss how they are excited about future CDK4/6 inhibitor data including oral SERDs to replace fulvestrant injections, triplet combinations with newer agents, expansion into HER2-positive settings, and the potential role of ctDNA monitoring, while emphasizing key patient education points such as explaining mechanism of action differences from chemotherapy, managing expectations about common adverse effects, setting parameters for when to contact the care team, and providing resources like ChemoCare while also educating health care teams through primary literature and electronic health record care plans.

Panelists discuss how subcutaneous immune checkpoint inhibitors transform cancer care delivery by streamlining clinical workflows through faster administration in alternative care settings, improving patient quality of life by reducing treatment time and allowing greater flexibility in scheduling, and expanding access through home-based programs that serve rural and underserved populations while maintaining comprehensive monitoring and support systems.
