Program Overview
This CE program will analyze optimal therapeutics for the treatment and management of prostate cancer patients, incorporating data presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncology 2018 Genitourinary (GU) Cancers Symposium in San Francisco, California. The three expert faculty, led by Dr. Elisabeth Heath, will review the framework for clinical decision making in prostate cancer. Recent clinical trial data for metastatic and non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) as well as castration-sensitive prostate cancer (CSPC) will be reviewed and clinical relevance debated. The faculty will relay best practices for utilizing the interprofessional team to reduce adverse events and improve quality of life in this patient population. At the conclusion of this discussion-based activity, learners will gain better insight into the emerging and emerged techniques for treating and managing patients with prostate cancer.
