OVERVIEW OF ACTIVITY
In 2015 in the United States alone it is estimated that 220,800 new cases of prostate cancer (PCa) will occur. With an estimated 27,540 deaths in 2015, PCa is the second-leading cause of cancer death in men. The disease has a tremendous global impact and has become the center of extensive ongoing clinical research. For this reason, the clinical management of PCa is frequently in a state of evolution, necessitating rapid and consistent clinician access to emerging data sets relevant to the continuous delivery of quality cross-functional care.
To bridge the gap between research and patient care, this CME activity will use the perspectives of clinical investigators on key management challenges and controversies in the treatment of PCa to assist medical oncologists, hematologists, hematology-oncology fellows, radiation oncologists, urologists and other healthcare practitioners in the formulation of up-to-date and appropriate treatment strategies.
