Learning Objectives
After completing this program, participants should be able to:
- Assess the latest advances in mHSPC and CRPC treatment paradigms including the efficacy, safety, selection, and application of new and emerging approaches in order to best integrate them into care
- Differentiate among available and emerging treatment approaches for mHSPC and CRPC
- Formulate best-practice treatment strategies for mHSPC and CRPC, taking into consideration current guidelines and expert recommendations when individualizing treatment plans
Activity Description
This educational activity is designed to provide the oncology care team with the latest developments and critical insights into the managementof prostate cancer.This education will support the healthcare professional in his/her practice setting with the essential tools to critically evaluate efficacy, safety, clinical effectiveness, and application.
Statement of Educational Need
In the past decade, the treatment landscape for advanced prostate cancer has changed dramatically with the introduction of various agents that have demonstrated a survival benefit. Several new agents have received FDA approval for the treatment of advanced prostate cancer, newly diagnosed metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC), novel endrocrine therapies that deprive or block prostate cancers from the effects of androgens, immunotherapeutic strategies that act to induce antitumor responses, new radiopharmaceuticals to target bony metastases, and novel chemotherapeutic agents. Many of these agents are currently in clinical trials to assess their applicability to different phases of the treatment paradigm in an effort to prolong survival while maintaining the patients’ quality of life.
The multitude of agents available for treating different prostate disease states and the rapid pace of new FDA approvals often confound clinical decision making. This educational activity aims to address these gaps in clinician knowledge to improve outcomes for patients with advanced prostate cancer.

This activity is designed to meet the educational needs of hematologists/oncologists, community oncologists, oncology nurses and NPs, pharmacists 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:
- Explain the different treatment modalities for treating advanced and metastatic prostate cancer including hormonal, cytotoxic, immunologic, targeted, bone-directed, and investigational therapies
- Describe and implement the latest advances in the management of advanced prostate cancer across the disease continuum
- Personalize treatment decisions for patients with advanced and metastatic prostate cancer based on patient-specific factors, latest best-practice treatment strategies, recent clinical trial data, and expert recommendations
Activity Description

This education will support the healthcare professional in his/her practice setting with the essential tools to critically evaluate efficacy, safety, clinical effectiveness, and application.
Statement of Educational Need
With the exception of skin cancer, prostate cancer remains the most common cause of cancer in American men. The majority of patients diagnosed will seek treatment through surgery or radiation, and among those patients, approximately one-third will experience disease recurrence as indicated by elevated prostate specific antigen (PSA). Although androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) achieves temporary tumor control or regression in 90% of these individuals, most patients will ultimately progress to the advanced and/or fatal stage of malignancy, known as castrate-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), in which the disease spreads to the regional lymph nodes, seminal vesicles, and distant sites such as the bones.
In the past decade, the treatment landscape for advanced prostate cancer has changed dramatically with the introduction of various agents that have demonstrated a survival benefit. Many agents have received FDA approval for the treatment of advanced prostate cancer, including early taxanes, novel endocrine therapies that deprive or block prostate cancers from the effects of androgens, immunotherapeutic strategies that act to induce antitumor responses, new radiopharmaceuticals to target bony metastases, and novel targeted therapies. These agents are currently in clinical trials to assess their applicability to different phases of the treatment paradigm, either alone or in combination, in an effort to prolong survival while maintaining the patients’ quality of life. Other novel agents are in late-phase clinical development and are likely to enter the clinic in the near future.
As understanding of the underlying pathology of advanced prostate cancer is further elucidated, the importance of genetic testing (genomic and somatic) to identify biomarkers is playing an increasing role in risk assessment and treatment selection. However, many treatments lack definitive biomarkers and clinicians must rely on their understanding of current best-practice approaches to guide treatment selection for individual patients with advanced prostate cancer. Frequently updated guidelines, along with an increasing number of available agents and the rapid pace of new FDA approvals has challenged many busy clinicians in their ability to stay up to date with current best-practice treatment approaches, which in turn may negatively impact patient outcomes.
This activity aims to address these gaps in clinician knowledge to improve outcomes for patients with advanced and metastatic prostate cancer.

New Choices in Targeted Treatments for Advanced or Metastatic Urothelial Carcinoma: Plot Your Own Course
StartActivity Details
Expires: November 23, 2021
Accredited By
Target Audience
This educational initiative has been designed for genitourinary oncologists, medical oncologists, surgical oncologists, radiologists, urologists, nurse practitioners (NPs), physician assistants (PAs), clinical nurse specialists (CNSs), advanced practice nurses (APNs), oncology clinical nurses (OCNs), and clinical oncology pharmacists (BCOPs) involved in the care and coordination of patients with urothelial carcinoma (UC).
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this educational activity, participants should be able to:
- Articulate the mechanisms of action of targeted biopharmacologics and immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) used in the treatment of UC
- Outline efficacy and safety findings from key clinical trials of approved and investigational novel treatments developed for the treatment of advanced or metastatic UC (mUC)
Statement of Educational Need
In advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma (UC) a heavily cytotoxic “sledgehammer” approach has traditionally been used. Platinum-based chemotherapy is still the preferred first-line approach. But this non-specific cytotoxic treatment is often intolerable for the typically older UC patient.
Until recently, there were no second-line options beyond the chemotherapeutic sledgehammer. Today, treatments with more selective mechanisms of action take advantage of fresh translational insights into UC.
These novel therapeutics offer more efficient targeting for patients who have run out of options. But for clinicians, the introduction of these agents complicates an already complex condition. This activity will guide them in selecting and using these options.
In this case-based activity you will navigate a simulated patient case, making clinical decisions when prompted. Feedback regarding your decisions will be provided as you move through the case.

Activity Details
Expires: November 23, 2021
Accredited By
Target Audience
This educational initiative has been designed for genitourinary oncologists, medical oncologists, surgical oncologists, radiologists, urologists, nurse practitioners (NPs), physician assistants (PAs), clinical nurse specialists (CNSs), advanced practice nurses (APNs), oncology clinical nurses (OCNs), and clinical oncology pharmacists (BCOPs) involved in the care and coordination of patients with urothelial carcinoma (UC).
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this educational activity, participants should be able to:
- Articulate the mechanisms of action of targeted biopharmacologics and immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) used in the treatment of UC
- Outline efficacy and safety findings from key clinical trials of approved and investigational novel treatments developed for the treatment of advanced or metastatic UC (mUC)
Statement of Educational Need
In advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma (UC) a heavily cytotoxic “sledgehammer” approach has traditionally been used. Platinum-based chemotherapy is still the preferred first-line approach. But this non-specific cytotoxic treatment is often intolerable for the typically older UC patient.
Until recently, there were no second-line options beyond the chemotherapeutic sledgehammer. Today, treatments with more selective mechanisms of action take advantage of fresh translational insights into UC.
These novel therapeutics offer more efficient targeting for patients who have run out of options. But for clinicians, the introduction of these agents complicates an already complex condition. This activity will guide them in selecting and using these options.
In this case-based activity you will navigate a simulated patient case, making clinical decisions when prompted. Feedback regarding your decisions will be provided as you move through the case.
