CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

  • TARGET AUDIENCE
    This program is intended for medical and radiation oncologists, urologists and other allied healthcare professionals involved in the treatment of prostate cancer.

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Appraise published research findings on optimal disease management approaches for patients with biochemical recurrence after local treatment for prostate cancer, and counsel appropriate individuals regarding the potential benefits of systemic therapy.
    • Evaluate the published research database supporting the FDA approvals of secondary hormonal agents in the management of nonmetastatic prostate cancer, 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 current clinical management algorithms.
    • Appreciate available Phase III data documenting the efficacy of PSMA-targeted radioligand therapy for patients with PSMA-positive mCRPC, and consider the current and future clinical role of this strategy.
    • Recall the design of ongoing clinical trials evaluating other novel agents and strategies for prostate cancer, and counsel appropriate patients about availability and participation.
