TARGET AUDIENCE
This activity is intended for medical and radiation oncologists, urologists and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of prostate cancer (PC).

OVERVIEW OF ACTIVITY
Cancers of the genitourinary system affect hundreds of thousands of individuals within the United States each year, accounting for almost 30% of all newly diagnosed human cancers. Tumors of the prostate are the most prevalent and are therefore the focus of extensive ongoing clinical research.

Although virtually all locally advanced or metastatic sites of tumor are initially reliant upon androgen stimulation for growth and respond to treatment with androgen deprivation therapy, inevitably resistance to hormone blockade eventually develops, culminating in the recurrence of highly aggressive castration-resistant PC (CRPC). Research advances focused specifically on this population occurring within the past several years have resulted in a paradigm shift to the multidisciplinary care of this disease. Because of this, a once stagnant systemic treatment algorithm largely confined to medical or surgical castration has evolved into delivery of cutting-edge antineoplastic therapy. To bridge the gap between research and patient care, this program uses a video presentation by Dr David Quinn to provide clinician access to emerging data sets of relevance to the continuous delivery of quality cross-functional care.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

• Recall existing and emerging research information demonstrating the impact of secondary hormonal interventions on outcomes for patients with chemotherapy-naïve or pretreated CRPC, and use this information to guide treatment planning for these patients.
• Identify and educate patients with skeletal metastases about the efficacy and safety of radium-223.
• Recognize the unique patterns of response with available and emerging immunotherapeutic strategies, and effectively counsel patients considering these treatments.
• Apply evidence-based research findings in the determination of best-practice sequencing of available immunotherapeutic, chemotherapeutic and secondary hormonal agents for patients with metastatic PC.
