Welcome to a Special Edition of Prostate Cancer Update:

This audio program contains the proceedings of a symposium chaired by Anthony V D’Amico, MD, PhD that was held at the 47th annual meeting of the American Society of Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology on October 18, 2005 in Denver, Colorado. Faculty participants included Laurence Klotz, MD, Gregory S Merrick, MD, Daniel P Petrylak, MD, Mack Roach III, MD and Gregory P Swanson, MD. The theme of this program is the management of high-risk localized prostate cancer and PSA relapse. During the ASTRO satellite symposium, a number of multiple-choice questions were posed to the audience through electronic interactive keypads, and in the second part of this program, Dr D’Amico comments on the responses.
