Global Advancements in Prostate Cancer: Best Practices in Hormonal Therapy (2022)
Complimentary CME Virtual Course!
Global Advancements in Prostate Cancer: Best Practices in Hormonal Therapy (2022) is an exciting new global educational initiative featuring a series of four interactive, case-based, live virtual courses conducted in English, Spanish, Portuguese, and Mandarin. For each session, a Moderator will engage two other subject matter experts in an interactive, interview-style presentation and discussion.
Based on the documented need from the AUA Phase IV Advanced Prostate Cancer Global Needs Assessment, the AUA has produced this new series of educational offerings for urologists and the urologic care team focused on the advancements in treating patients with advanced prostate cancer. This course will address the latest developments in advanced prostate cancer disease states mHSPC, M0 CRPC and M1 CRPC with a focus on patient selection/identification, mechanisms of action, side effects, and sequencing, advances in imaging with recent FDA approvals of novel PSMA - PET scans, patient outcomes and AUA Clinical Guideline recommendations.
Each activity will be recorded and feature subject matter experts from around the world. The English and Spanish webcasts will be made available on AUAUniversity and AUA's YouTube channel. The Portuguese and Mandarin webcasts will also be recorded and made available on AUA’s YouTube channel. Additionally, the English course will be released as part of AUA's podcast series.
Learners will also be provided with links to access additional resources including the AUA’s clinical guidelines discussed during the virtual courses and associated patient resources.
