CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

  • TARGET AUDIENCE
    This program is intended for medical oncologists, hematology-oncology fellows, urologists and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of prostate cancer.

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Infer how various clinical and biological factors affect the risk of prostate cancer recurrence after local therapy, and design appropriate treatment plans for patients with consideration of the potential benefits and risks of new and established forms of hormonal therapy.
    • Evaluate the published research supporting the FDA approvals of secondary hormonal agents for nonmetastatic prostate cancer, including for patients with biochemical recurrence after local therapy, and apply this information in the discussion of nonresearch treatment options.
    • Explore available data with treatment intensification with cytotoxic therapy, secondary hormonal therapy or combinations of these approaches for metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer, and effectively integrate these strategies into clinical management algorithms.
    • Establish an evidence-based approach to the selection and sequencing of available therapeutic options for patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), considering age, comorbidities, prior therapeutic exposure and other clinical and biological factors.
    • Assess the available research database supporting the use of PARP inhibitors as monotherapy or in combination with androgen receptor pathway inhibitors for patients with mCRPC harboring a homologous recombination repair gene alteration, and discern how to optimally incorporate these agents into clinical management algorithms.
    • Review available Phase III data documenting the efficacy of various forms of radioligand therapy for patients with mCRPC, and consider the current and potential clinical role of these strategies.
    • Recall the design of ongoing clinical trials evaluating other novel agents and strategies for prostate cancer, and appropriately counsel patients about availability and participation.
