CE Disclosures and Faculty Information

• TARGET AUDIENCE

  This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of medical and radiation oncologists, urologists and other allied healthcare professionals.

  OVERVIEW OF ACTIVITY

  Cancer of the genitourinary system affects hundreds of thousands of individuals within the United States each year and accounts for almost 30% of all newly diagnosed tumors in humans. Tumors of the prostate are among the most prevalent and thus a topic of extensive ongoing clinical research. Consequently, the management of prostate cancer is continuously in a state of evolution, necessitating rapid and consistent access to learning opportunities for medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, urologists and other healthcare providers who treat the disease. These proceedings from an interactive CME symposium held during the 2013 Genitourinary Cancers Symposium offer medical professionals a multifaceted educational experience focused specifically on the current treatment of prostate cancer.

  LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Review the known efficacy and safety data related to radium-223 chloride in patients with skeletal metastases in preparation for its potential approval.
  • Recall existing and emerging research information demonstrating the impact of secondary hormonal interventions on quality and quantity of life for patients with chemotherapy-naïve or pretreated castration-resistant prostate cancer, and use this information to guide treatment planning for these patients.
  • Recognize the unique patterns of response with available and emerging immunotherapeutic strategies, and effectively counsel patients considering these treatments.
  • Effectively apply evidence-based research findings in the determination of best-practice sequencing of available immunotherapeutics, chemotherapeutics and secondary hormonal agents for patients with metastatic prostate cancer.
  • Explore the emerging data and active research evaluating novel agents in the setting of advanced prostate cancer in order to prioritize clinical trial opportunities for appropriate patients.
