E board review in Breast Cancer February 2008

E-Board Review in Oncology:
Breast Cancer

The board review on breast cancer that follows is designed to help you discern the critical issues relating to the treatment of breast cancer. The subjects covered in this program represent scenarios clinicians face each day and reflect cutting-edge findings reported at major medical meetings. The hope is that the 36 questions and answers in the review will direct your focus in the ever-changing scope of options for breast cancer patients and lead to a higher quality of care and prolonged survival for them. This review should also serve as a valuable resource to help prepare you for the Medical Oncology Board Certification Examination.

After you work through the questions and answers, you can print a PDF of the entire program for future reference-instructions for doing so will appear on your screen after you complete the 36 questions.

In addition, you can earn 3 CME credits after completion of the program. Click on Earn Continuing Medical Education Credit and follow the instructions found there.

We hope you will find this review both interesting and informative-as both a resource for improving patient care and a study guide.
