Evolving Role of the Urologist in Metastatic and Castration Resistant Prostate Cancer: A Guidelines and Case-Based Discussion - Chicago (2019)
Presented by the AUA in partnership with the Society of Urologic Oncology (SUO).
Join Course Directors, Michael S. Cookson, MD, MMHC and David F. Jarrard, MD, on Thursday, May 2 at AUA2019 for an educational initiative in metastatic and castration resistant prostate cancer.
Designed for residents, fellows and APPs as well as urologists and other health care providers who care for patients with prostate cancer, this interactive live forum will focus on the application of knowledge with case studies and small group discussion integrated throughout the day. A flipped classroom approach will be utilized. Register early to receive the pre-work library which will be available to all registered participants in March 2019. Participants will be expected to complete the Prework Library in advance of attending the live course - complete the prework on your own time, at your convenience. Then, come prepared on May 2 to actively engage with peers as you apply what you've learned.
The AUA in partnership with the Society of Urologic Oncology (SUO) is proud to offer this course as complimentary to the Urology community.
Though complimentary, pre-registration is required and space is limited.
Needs assessment findings show strong support for continued development of courses and educational materials specifically targeted at residents and fellows that cover the medical management of advanced prostate cancer.
The Live Forum will cover the following topics:
- Identification of High Risk Disease and Initial Management of Biochemical Recurrence
- Chemo-hormonal Therapy for Metastatic Hormone Sensitive Prostate Cancer
- Imaging of Advanced Prostate Cancer
- M0 CRPC: Emerging Treatment Options
- Genetic Testing in Advanced Prostate Cancer
- Setting Up and Managing Advanced Prostate Cancer in the Community Setting
- Manipulating the Androgen Axis: Androgen Biosynthesis Inhibitors and Androgen Receptor Signaling Agents
- Radionuclide Therapy and Bone Health
- Role of Chemotherapy, Treatment Sequencing and Future Approaches

Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this activity, participants will be able to:
PRACTICE GAP #1 (DISEASE STATE)
- Describe the natural course of advanced prostate cancer from non-metastatic (M0) to metastatic hormone-sensitive disease (mHSPC), with progression to the development of castration-resistant disease (CRPC).
- Describe the treatment options and outcomes for patients with biochemical recurrence after failed local therapy.
- Identify available imaging and indications for use including next generation PET imaging in the assessment of men with biochemical recurrence after failed local therapy.
- Describe the treatment options and outcomes for newly diagnosed mHSPC.
- Explain the implications of CRPC on the management of both M0 and M1.
- Discuss the molecular mechanisms and characterization of CRPC.
- Discuss the incorporation of genetic testing into the management of men with high risk, metastatic prostate cancer and CRPC.
PRACTICE GAP #2 (GUIDELINES)
- Discuss specific recommendations within the AUA Clinical Practice Guidelines.
- Define M0 CRPC and the treatment options.
- Discuss clinically meaningful endpoints in clinical trials of patients with MO CRPC.
- Describe gaps in the knowledge for treatment and sequencing of agents in the management of CRPC.
- Discuss challenges in incorporating AUA Guidelines and management of advanced mHSPC and CRPC into community practice.
PRACTICE GAP #3 (ANDROGEN AXIS)
- Identify approved androgen biosynthesis and receptor blockers for treatment of CRPC.
- Appraise the clinical use and efficacy of approved androgen-axis therapeutics for CRPC.
- Anticipate, manage and treat adverse events from therapeutic interventions directed at the androgen-axis used in the treatment of CRPC.
- Discuss new uses for androgen axis agents in M0 CRPC.
PRACTICE GAP #4 (CHEMOTHERAPY, IMMUNOTHERAPY AND CO-MORBIDITY)
- Identify approved chemotherapeutics and immunotherapy for mCRPC.
- Describe indications and contraindications for chemotherapy and immunotherapy in patients with mCRPC.
- Identify co-morbid states and recognize their impact on treatment options for mCRPC.
- Discuss treatment sequencing.
PRACTICE GAP #5 (BONE HEALTH AND RADIONUCLIDE THERAPY)
- Integrate advances in bone health management into patient-specific care plans.
- Identify patients and prescribe radionuclide therapy in appropriate patients with symptomatic mCRPC.
- Discuss known adverse events associated with androgen biosynthesis inhibitors and radionuclide therapy.
PRACTICE GAP #6 (PAIN MANAGEMENT AND PALLIATIVE CARE)
- Assess and manage pain in patients with symptomatic mHSPC and mCRPC.
- Discuss the role of chemotherapy, performance status and pain management in patients with mCRPC.
