Monthly Oncology Tumor Boards: Management of Non-Metastatic Prostate Cancer

July 6, 2022

Improved risk stratification can help identify patients with localized prostate cancer who may derive greater or lesser absolute benefit from a given treatment, thus preventing over- and under-treatment. Clinicians need to be knowledgeable about newer tools that can improve risk stratification, and they need to understand when these tools have the possibility to change management so that unnecessary testing can be avoided. In addition, clinicians should be educated about the heterogeneity among risk groups, so that nuanced discussions with patients can inform decisions surrounding active surveillance.

Target Audience

This educational program is designed to meet the educational needs of physicians/oncologists, nurse practitioners, nurses, physician assistants, pharmacists, and other health care professionals who manage patients with cancer.

Learning Objectives

Following this activity, participants should be able to:

  • Describe the range of treatment approaches for patients with localized prostate cancer.
  • Discuss the appropriate use of available tools to improve risk stratification in patients with localized prostate cancer.
  • Review factors that may be associated with an increased probability of near-term grade reclassification in patients considering active surveillance for localized prostate cancer.
