The pocketcard provides all that is needed to make accurate clinical decisions at the point of care including: key points; assessment and diagnostic tools; adjuvant endocrine therapy, timing and sequencing; management algorithm for pre- and postmenopausal women; a drug table with common and serious adverse events comparison; drug toxicities and risks; and male breast cancer.
