ForwardGlobal Advancements in Prostate Cancer: The Role of Genetic Testing and PARP Inhibitors (2022) - English
Complimentary CME Virtual Course!
Global Advancements in Prostate Cancer: The Role of Genetic Testing and PARP Inhibitors is an exciting new global educational initiative featuring a series of four interactive, case-based, live virtual courses conducted in English, Mandarin, Portuguese, and Spanish. 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 with a focus on patient selection and approach to genetic testing, how do DNA damage repair mutations lead to prostate carcinogenesis, poly ADP ribose polymerase (PARP) and targeting DNA repair-deficient tumors, patient outcomes, clinical trials, and AUA Clinical Guideline recommendations.
Webcasts will be made available on AUAUniversity and AUA's YouTube channel. Additionally, the 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.

Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this activity, participants will be able to:
- Review recommended criteria for genetic testing of prostate cancer patients, explain how to counsel patients about genetic testing, and how to order and interpret these tests.
- Explain how mutations in DNA damage repair genes can lead to the development of aggressive prostate cancer and the implications for treatment decisions.
- Describe the role of the enzyme poly ADP ribose polymerase (PARP) in carcinogenesis as well as the mechanism of PARP inhibition for cancer treatment.
- Discuss clinical trial data assessing the efficacy of PARP inhibitors in advanced prostate cancer, including patient populations and clinical outcomes for each trial.
