Prostate Cancer Update
A Continuing Medical Education Audio Series STATEMENT OF NEED/TARGET AUDIENCE Prostate cancer is one of the most rapidly evolving fields in urologic oncology. Published results from clinical trials lead to the emergence of new surgical and radiation therapy techniques and therapeutic agents, along with changes in the indications for existing treatments. In order to offer optimal patient care — including the option of clinical trial participation — the practicing urologist and radiation oncologist must be well informed of these advances. To bridge the gap between research and practice, Prostate Cancer Update utilizes a moderated forum with leading urologic oncology and radiation oncology investigators. By providing access to the latest research developments and expert perspectives, this CME program assists urologists and radiation oncologists in the formulation of up-to-date clinical management strategies.
