Disparities in Care and Barriers to Access for Patients with Advanced Prostate Cancer Podcast (2023)

Part II will consist of two live webinars, one designed specifically for urologists and the other for APPs. The live virtual courses will feature a multidisciplinary panel engaging in a lively discussion on this topic. For a deeper dive into select topics in ADT and advanced prostate cancer care, the AUA will also produce two additional episodes for release on the AUAUniversity Podcast:
