Evidence-Based Clinical Management of Advanced and Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer (2018)

May 17, 2018

There is a growing need for urologists to be able to effectively manage castration-resistant prostate cancer (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 is launching 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 Society of Urologic Oncology (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.

Learning Objectives

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

Practice Gap #1 (Disease State)

  1. Describe the natural course of advanced prostate cancer from non-metastatic to metastatic hormone-sensitive disease, with progression to the development of castration-resistant disease.
  2. Describe the treatment options and outcomes for newly diagnosed metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer.
  3. Explain the implications of CRPC on the management of both M0 and M1.
  4. Discuss the molecular mechanisms and characterization of CRPC.

Practice Gap #2 (Guidelines)

  1. Discuss specific recommendations within the AUA Clinical Practice Guidelines.
  2. Define M0 CRPC and the treatment options.
  3. Discuss clinically meaningful endpoints in clinical trials of patients with MO CRPC.
  4. Describe gaps in the knowledge for treatment and sequencing of agents in the management of CRPC.

Practice Gap #3 (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 #4 (Chemotherapy, Immunotherapy and Co-Morbidity)

  1. Identify approved chemotherapeutics and immunotherapy for mCRPC.
  2. Describe indications and contraindications for chemotherapy and immunotherapy in patients with mCRPC.
  3. Identify co-morbid states and recognize their impact on treatment options for mCRPC.
  4. Discuss treatment sequencing.

Practice Gap #5 (Bone Health and Radionuclide Therapy)

  1. Integrate advances in bone health management into patient-specific care plans.
  2. Identify patients and prescribe radionuclide therapy in appropriate patients with symptomatic mCRPC.

Practice Gap #6 (Pain Management and Palliative Care)

  1. Assess and manage pain in patients with CRPC.
  2. Discuss the role of chemotherapy, performance status and pain management in patients with mCRPC.
