CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

  • TARGET AUDIENCE
    This program is intended for medical and radiation oncologists, urologists and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of bladder and prostate cancers.

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Recognize the incidence of nectin-4 expression in urothelial bladder cancer (UBC), and appreciate the scientific justification for the development of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) targeting this novel biomarker.
    • Interrogate published efficacy and safety findings with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies in combination with ADC therapy as first-line treatment for metastatic UBC, and consider the current role of this strategy.
    • Review available research findings with HER2-directed ADCs for patients with advanced UBC, and optimally integrate these novel agents into management algorithms.
    • Appraise published research on the optimal management of biochemical recurrence after local treatment for prostate cancer, and counsel appropriate patients about the potential benefits of FDA-approved systemic 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.
    • Assess the available research database supporting the use of PARP inhibitors in combination with androgen receptor pathway inhibitors for patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer harboring a homologous recombination repair gene alteration, and discern the current role of this treatment approach.
    • Recall the design of ongoing clinical trials evaluating novel ADCs for advanced UBC or hormonal therapy-based approaches for prostate cancer, and counsel appropriate patients about availability and participation.
