CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

  • TARGET AUDIENCE
    This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of oncology nurses, nurse practitioners and clinical nurse specialists involved in the treatment of prostate cancer.

    PURPOSE STATEMENT
    By providing information on the latest research developments in the context of expert perspectives, this NCPD activity will assist oncology nurses, nurse practitioners and clinical nurse specialists with the formulation of state-of-the-art clinical management strategies to facilitate optimal care of patients with prostate cancer.

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Evaluate the published research supporting the FDA approvals of secondary hormonal agents for nonmetastatic prostate cancer, including for patients with biochemical recurrence after local therapy, and apply this information in the discussion of nonresearch treatment options.
    • Review available data with treatment intensification with cytotoxic therapy, secondary hormonal therapy or combinations of these approaches for metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer, and recognize how these approaches are being integrated into clinical management algorithms.
    • Understand how age, comorbidities, prior therapeutic exposure and other clinical and biological factors affect the selection and sequencing of available therapeutic options for patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC).
    • Assess the available research 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 identify appropriate candidates for available agents and regimens.
    • Appreciate Phase III data documenting the efficacy of PSMA-targeted radioligand therapy for PSMA-positive mCRPC, and consider the current and future clinical role of this strategy.
    • Implement a plan of care to recognize and manage side effects and toxicities associated with approved therapies for prostate cancer.
    • Recall the design of ongoing clinical trials evaluating other novel therapies for prostate cancer, and counsel appropriate patients about availability and participation.
