This page is for registration to the Philadelphia course:
Urologists continue to indicate one of the greatest educational needs in integrating systemic agents into the management of advanced prostate cancer. With numerous new treatments now available to urologists to manage advanced disease, sequencing and managing the side effects of each treatment have become increasingly important. In addition, studies are demonstrating that earlier treatment with these systemic agents has improved efficacy. Urologists play a central role in the management of advanced, metastatic and castrate resistant prostate cancer and as their role continues to increase, knowledge of the various side effects of the numerous treatments that are available is paramount.
This course will provide essential information on the role of systemic therapy in the treatment of advanced prostate cancer, focusing upon a thorough review of the AUA CRPC Guidelines, followed by management of castrate sensitive prostate cancer with systemic agents, sequencing of agents, managing side effects of treatments, management of comorbid conditions, and identifying potential interactions between agents. Additionally, the course will include a section on pain management and training on counseling/support of patients in end-of-life issues.
