MORRISTOWN, N.J., Dec. 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Viver Health is proud to announce the introduction of Your Guide to Managing Symptoms from Metastatic Breast Cancer Treatment, a take-home, evidence-based educational resource designed to help individuals with metastatic breast cancer manage symptoms associated with treatment. This unique resource utilizes a whole-person approach to address the unmet symptom management needs of patients and caregivers. Developed in collaboration with Gilead Sciences, healthcare professionals (HCPs), and patients, and endorsed by the Academy of Oncology Nurse & Patient Navigators (AONN+), this complimentary Guide is available for U.S. healthcare professionals. Viver's unique methodology utilizes up to date literature and patient and HCP interviews to provide real-world evidence and real-world impact.

Created in patient-friendly language, the Guide supports shared-decision making and includes integrative, whole-person strategies to help manage common symptoms, including fatigue, pain, neutropenia, digestive symptoms, and more. It also outlines when to contact the care team and provides resources for psychosocial and financial support.

"Supporting people living with metastatic breast cancer requires resources that address their day-to-day challenges," said Dr. Darren Tayama, M.D., Vice President, US Medical Affairs, Oncology at Gilead. "This evidence-based Guide reflects our dedication to helping patients feel informed, empowered, and actively supported throughout their treatment experience."

"Resources like this Guide empower patients with information that can improve their daily quality of life and reduce the fear that often accompanies treatment," said Jeanine Patten-Coble, Founder of Little Pink Houses of Hope. "Reliable information reduces anxiety and helps patients stay engaged in their care."

"Effective symptom management is essential to ensuring patients can remain on treatment and maintain well-being," said Dr. Deborah Capko, MD, Breast Surgeon at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.
