AUA2025: Embracing Multi-Disciplinary Care for Advanced Prostate Cancer: A Case-Based Update 2025
CME Available: https://auau.auanet.org/node/42997
At the conclusion of this activity, participants will be able to:
1. Initial Management of Metastatic Prostate Cancer: Evaluate and treat a patient with new diagnosed M1 prostate cancer with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) plus be skilled to offer novel oral antiandrogens. Furthermore, to recognize high-volume new M1 prostate cancer so as to be able to partner with GU medical oncologist for docetaxel chemotherapy in a multidisciplinary team.
2. Non-Metastatic Castrate Resistant Prostate Cancer (M0 CRPC): The learner will be skilled to diagnose M0 CRPC and be able to educate patients about using either enzalutamide or apalutamide or darolutamide added to traditional ADT as a way to improve their patent's overall and radiographic progression-free survival. Furthermore, the skilled learner will be able to understand the differences between these three oral agents and to educate patients about side-effects and toxicities. Finally, understand the pros and cons of PSMA PET scan imaging in further staging in this disease Non-metastatic Castrate-Resistant Prostate Cancer (M0 CRPC): Diagnose M0 CRPC and be able to educate patients about using novel oral antiandrogens added to traditional ADT as a way to improve their patent's overall and radiographic progression-free survival. Furthermore, the skilled learner will be able to understand the differences between these novel oral agents and to educate patients about side effects and toxicities. Finally, understand the pros and cons of PSMA PET scan imaging in further staging in this disease state.
3. Metastatic Castrate-Resistant Prostate Cancer (M1 CRPC): Describe and have a working knowledge of the latest phase III RCT results for new therapies in M1 CRPC and be able to educate their patients on treatment options and participate in a multidisciplinary team caring for men with this disease state of far-advanced prostate cancer.
4. Describe that advanced prostate cancer is a complex group of disease states with an ever-changing therapeutic landscape and for providers and teams to embrace the multi-disciplinary nature of care for our patients.
5. Identify the molecular and molecular genetic underpinnings of advanced prostate cancer and recognize the future will be based on a more personalized therapy landscape including PARP inhibition, immune checkpoint agents, and novel AR targeted agents emerging in 2025 and beyond.
