Androgen Axis Agents and Bone Target Therapies in Advanced Prostate Cancer: What's New (2018)

September 12, 2018

Complimentary CME Webinar!

Wednesday, September 12, 2018  |  7:00 - 8:00 p.m. ET

There is a growing need for urologists to be able to effectively manage CRPC.  The AUA recently released its 2017 report on the educational needs of urologists in the area of CRPC. These findings show strong support for the AUA to influence key stakeholders in urology residency programs in order to increase the amount of exposure residents receive in this area. Additionally, the findings indicate that the AUA should continue to develop courses and educational materials specifically targeted at residents that covers the medical management of advanced prostate cancer.

The AUA has launched an educational initiative to focus on resident and fellow training in the area of Advanced and Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer (CRPC). Based on the documented need for additional education in this area, the AUA in collaboration with SUO has developed multiple educational interventions to improve the ability to care for patients with CRPC. These educational activities may also be of interest to advanced practice providers and urologists.

The 2018 series is comprised of a variety of activities, including two live forums, four live webinars, webcasts and podcasts.  All activities are complimentary.

Androgen Axis Agents and Bone Target Therapies in Advanced Prostate Cancer: What's New is the third live webinar in a 4-part series of live webinars.  Topics will include "Manipulating the Androgen Axis: Androgen Biosynthesis Inhibitors and Androgen Receptor Signaling Agents" and "Radionuclide Therapy and Bone Health".

Webinar #1: The Changing Landscape of Advanced Prostate Cancer Management: What You Need to Know - Wednesday, July 25, 2018, 7-8 p.m. ET

Webinar #2: Emerging Treatment of M0 CRPC: Update on the AUA/SUO Guidelines and Beyond - Wednesday, August 22, 2018, 7-8 p.m. ET

Webinar #3: Androgen Axis Agents and Bone Target Therapies in Advanced Prostate Cancer: What's New - Wednesday, September 12, 2018, 7-8 p.m. ET

Webinar #4: Sequencing of Chemotherapy and Immunotherapy in Advanced Prostate Cancer: Present and Future - Wednesday, October 17, 2018, 7-8 p.m. ET

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this activity, participants will be able to:  

Practice Gap (Disease State)

  1. Discuss the molecular mechanisms and characterization of CRPC.

Practice Gap (Guidelines)

  1. Discuss specific recommendations within the AUA Clinical Practice Guidelines.

Practice Gap (Androgen Axis)

  1. Identify approved androgen biosynthesis and receptor blockers for treatment of CRPC.

  2. Appraise the clinical use and efficacy of approved androgen-axis therapeutics for CRPC.

  3. Anticipate, manage and treat adverse events from therapeutic interventions directed at the androgen-axis used in the treatment of CRPC.

  4. Discuss new uses for androgen axis agents in M0 CRPC.

Practice Gap (Chemotherapy, Immunotherapy and Co-Morbidity)

  1. Identify co-morbid states and recognize their impact on treatment options for mCRPC.

  2. Discuss treatment sequencing.
