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).

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Appraise recent data on diagnostic and therapeutic advances in PC, and integrate this information, as appropriate, into current clinical care.
    • Evaluate the published research database supporting the recent FDA approvals of secondary hormonal agents in the management of nonmetastatic castration-resistant PC (CRPC), and apply this information in the discussion of nonresearch treatment options for these individuals.
    • Appraise the similarities and differences among commercially available next-generation antiandrogens in an effort to personalize therapeutic selection for individual patients.
    • Recognize the potential side effects associated with hormonal agents commonly employed in the management of PC, and develop strategies to prevent, mitigate and manage resultant toxicities.
    • Explore available data on the use of cytotoxic and secondary hormonal therapy in the setting of hormone-sensitive metastatic PC to effectively design treatment plans for appropriate individuals.
    • Apply evidence-based research findings in the determination of best-practice selection and sequencing of available local and systemic treatment modalities for patients with metastatic CRPC.
    • Describe the rationale for testing patients with metastatic PC for BRCA1/2 or other related mutations, and advise individuals found to harbor these genetic abnormalities about emerging Phase III data documenting the efficacy of PARP inhibition in appropriately selected individuals.
    • Recall the design of ongoing research studies evaluating other novel agents and strategies for PC, and counsel appropriate patients about availability and participation.
