A Toolbox for Navigating Young Women's Metastatic Breast Cancer

Young women with metastatic breast cancer are faced with many unique challenges, emotions, and important decisions. As healthcare providers, your support and guidance is key to helping patients navigate their treatment options and develop coping strategies.

In this webinar, Virginia F. Borges, MD, MMSc, shares strategies to help guide your young patients who have received a metastatic diagnosis, whether through recurrence or de novo, about their priorities and treatment planning. Dr. Borges also discusses some of the unique challenges for young women living with metastatic breast cancer, how to talk about the future, and ways to encourage self-care and finding hope in a difficult situation.
