CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

• TARGET AUDIENCE
  This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of medical and radiation oncologists, urologists and other allied healthcare professionals involved in the treatment of prostate cancer (PC).
  
  OVERVIEW OF ACTIVITY
  Cancers of the genitourinary (GU) system affect hundreds of thousands of individuals in the United States each year and account for more than one fourth of all cancer diagnoses. Of this diverse array of distinct diseases, tumors of the prostate are among the most prevalent and thus the focus of extensive ongoing clinical research. A result of this research is that the clinical management of both early and more advanced presentations of PC is constantly evolving, necessitating rapid and consistent access to learning opportunities for clinicians who care for these patients. These 2 postmeeting interviews with faculty from a satellite symposium held during the 2019 Genitourinary Cancers Symposium explore the most significant therapeutic advances of the past year by using the perspectives of leading PC experts to gain a better understanding of new management strategies and lingering clinical controversies facing the GU cancer community.
  
  This activity will help medical oncologists and other allied healthcare professionals to find answers to the individualized questions and concerns they frequently encounter and to in turn provide high-quality cancer care.
  
  LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Evaluate the published research database supporting the recent FDA approvals of secondary hormonal agents in the management of nonmetastatic PC, and consider this information in the discussion of nonresearch treatment options for patients.
  • Explore available data on the use of cytotoxic and secondary hormonal therapy in the setting of hormone-sensitive metastatic PC to design effective treatment plans for appropriate patients.
  • Consider patient and disease characteristics and published clinical trial data in the selection and sequencing of available local and systemic treatment modalities for patients with metastatic PC.
  • Describe the rationale for testing patients with metastatic PC for BRCA1/2 mutations, and advise individuals found to harbor these genetic abnormalities about participation in clinical trials evaluating the role of a PARP inhibitor.
  • Recall the design of ongoing research studies evaluating other novel agents and therapeutic strategies for PC, and counsel appropriate patients about availability and participation.
