CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

  • TARGET AUDIENCE
    This program is intended for medical oncologists, hematology-oncology fellows 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, and apply this information in the recommendation of nonresearch treatment options for patients.
    • Appraise the similarities and differences among commercially available next-generation antiandrogen agents to personalize therapy selection for patients with prostate cancer.
    • Explore available data with secondary hormonal therapy for hormone-sensitive metastatic prostate cancer to effectively design treatment plans for patients.
    • Recognize the adverse events associated with hormonal agents commonly employed in the management of prostate cancer, and develop strategies to prevent, mitigate and manage these toxicities.
    • Recall the design of ongoing clinical trials evaluating other novel agents and strategies for prostate cancer, and counsel appropriate patients about availability and participation.
