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 new cancer diagnoses. Of this diverse array of distinct diseases, tumors of the prostate are among the most prevalent and thus the topic of extensive ongoing clinical research. Consequently, the clinical management of both early and more advanced presentations of prostate cancer is constantly evolving, necessitating rapid and consistent access to learning opportunities for clinicians who care for these patients. This CME program was developed from the proceedings of a satellite symposium held during the 2019 Genitourinary Cancers Symposium. It provides the perspectives and experiences of prostate cancer experts to facilitate 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
  

  • Appraise the published research database supporting the recent FDA approvals of secondary hormonal agents in the management of nonmetastatic prostate cancer, and consider this information in the discussion of nonresearch treatment options for patients.
  • Explore available data with cytotoxic and secondary hormonal therapy in the setting of hormone-sensitive metastatic prostate cancer to effectively design treatment plans for appropriate patients.
  • Consider patient and disease characteristics in addition to available clinical trial data in the selection and sequencing of available local and systemic treatment modalities for patients with metastatic prostate cancer.
  • Evaluate the rationale for testing for BRCA mutations in patients with metastatic prostate cancer, and advise individuals found to harbor these genetic abnormalities about participation in clinical trials investigating the role of PARP inhibitors.
  • Recall the design of ongoing clinical trials evaluating other novel agents and strategies for prostate cancer, and counsel appropriate patients about availability and participation.
