- Increasing understanding of differentiated MOA of emerging therapies including proteolysis targeting chimera estrogen receptor (PROTAC ER) degraders from that of other endocrine therapies (e.g., SERDs)
- Increasing understanding of the latest clinical data updates relevant to the treatment of patients with ESR1 mutated ER+/HER2- mBC
