Spotlight on Urology
Nursing Considerations for Navigating the Advanced Prostate Cancer Disease Continuum in the Management of mHSPC, DNA repair deficiency mCRPC, and nmCRPC
StartActivity Details
Expires: February 21, 2023
Accredited By
The Society of Urologic Nurses and Associates (SUNA)
Target Audience
This activity is designed to meet the educational needs of nurses, NPs, and other healthcare professionals involved in the treatment of patients with advanced prostate cancer.
Learning Objectives
After completing this program, participants should be able to:
- Evaluate the latest clinical data on efficacy, safety, and sequencing considerations for hormonal, cytotoxic, immunologic, targeted, bone-directed, and investigational therapies for patients with HSPC and CRPC
- Assess evolving treatment strategies for patients with mHSPC and nmCRPC, taking into consideration current guidelines and expert recommendations when individualizing treatment plans
- Implement best practice strategies to minimize or manage disease and treatment-associated complications to improve quality of life
Activity Description
This activity is designed to help nurses understand best practice approaches to utilizing all the current therapies in advanced prostate cancer to ensure optimal patient management.
Statement of Educational Need
Nurses play a central role in educating and guiding advanced prostate cancer patients who need to make treatment decisions. However, with the rapidly expanding number of therapeutic options and evolving treatment plans, nurses find it challenging to stay up-to-date on the latest clinical data. As research provides more information regarding sequencing strategies, nurses will need to understand the rationale behind these decisions. Each of these available agents differs in its mechanisms of action, as well as its impact on disease and patient outcomes. Nurses require familiarity with the side effects, drug interactions, and complications associated with these new agents.

Peyronie's Disease: Staying Ahead of the Curve With Recent Advances in Treatment
StartActivity Details
1.0 ABIM MOC Point(s)
Expires: October 30, 2022
Accredited By
This continuing medical education activity is provided by
Target Audience
The intended audience for the activity is family medicine physicians, internists, urologists, and other health care professionals involved in the management of patients with Peyronie’s disease.
Learning Objectives
Upon successful completion of the activity, participants should be better able to:
- Recognize the burden of Peyronie’s disease and the need for increased awareness of the condition.
- Incorporate the use of screening and patient history to aide in prompt diagnosis, treatment, or referral for patients with Peyronie’s disease.
- Apply knowledge about conventional, new, and emerging treatments for Peyronie’s disease, their benefits and limitations, as well as how they can be best incorporated into clinical practice.
Activity Description
Generalized Peyronie’s disease (PD) is a localized fibrotic disorder of the tunica albuginea resulting in penile pain, plaque, indentation, curvature, deformity, or shortening during erection. Additionally, some men will also experience erectile dysfunction. There are 2 distinct stages of PD: the acute stage characterized by pain, and during which the disease may progress; and the chronic stage, which occurs 6 to 12 months later, when pain resolves and the deformity stabilizes. Unfortunately, data have demonstrated that most individuals with PD do not receive adequate health care from clinicians. This insufficient care is attributed to numerous factors, including clinicians lacking awareness of the burden of PD, not having a good understanding of its etiology to better recognize the need for patient screening and complete history, as well as not staying up to date about conventional and new treatments for PD. In this educational activity, expert clinicians provide the latest updates on diagnosis and management of PD.
