CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

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

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Appraise published and emerging research findings and current guideline recommendations on optimal management approaches for biochemical recurrence after local treatment for prostate cancer, and appropriately counsel patients about the potential benefits of systemic therapy.
    • Evaluate the research supporting the FDA approvals of secondary hormonal agents in the management of nonmetastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), and present appropriate nonresearch treatment options to patients.
    • Explore available data with treatment intensification using cytotoxic therapy, secondary hormonal therapy or combinations of both 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 therapies for patients with metastatic CRPC (mCRPC), considering age, comorbidities, prior therapeutic exposure and other clinical and biologic factors.
    • Assess available research with PARP inhibitors as monotherapy for patients with mCRPC harboring a homologous recombination repair (HRR) gene alteration, and discern how to optimally incorporate these agents into clinical management algorithms.
    • Understand the rationale for, available data with and ongoing research evaluating PARP inhibitors with androgen receptor-targeted therapy, and consider the potential role of these novel regimens in therapy for patients both with and without HRR gene mutations.
    • Recall the design of ongoing clinical trials evaluating other novel agents and strategies for prostate cancer, and appropriately counsel patients about availability and participation.
