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.

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Evaluate the published research database supporting the recent FDA approvals of secondary hormonal agents in the management of nonmetastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), and apply this information in the discussion of nonresearch treatment options for these patients.
    • Recognize the side effects associated with hormonal agents commonly employed in the management of prostate cancer, and develop strategies to prevent, mitigate and manage toxicities.
    • Explore available data on the use of cytotoxic and secondary hormonal therapy for metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) to design effective treatment plans for patients.
    • Appraise the recent FDA approvals of enzalutamide and apalutamide for patients with mHSPC, and effectively integrate these agents into clinical practice.
    • Assess the available and emerging research database surrounding the optimal management of metastatic CRPC, and apply recent advances to current clinical care.
    • Describe the rationale for testing patients with metastatic prostate cancer for BRCA1/2 or other related mutations, and advise individuals found to harbor these genetic abnormalities about available data documenting the efficacy of PARP inhibition in specific settings.
    • Evaluate the recent FDA approvals of olaparib and rucaparib for patients with metastatic CRPC, and optimally incorporate these agents into clinical algorithms.
    • Recall the design of ongoing research studies evaluating other novel agents and strategies for prostate cancer, and counsel appropriate patients about availability and participation.
