The Emerging Role of Tumor and Germline Genetic Testing and the Treatment of Advanced Disease

The goal of this activity is to improve participants’ knowledge of, confidence in, and competence in integrating recent findings into the treatment of patients with prostate cancer.

 

Clinicians around the world use NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology (NCCN Guidelines®) as a standard for clinical decision-making.  The NCCN Harmonized Guidelines™ are targeted regional resources created as part of a collaborative effort to combat the skyrocketing cancer rate

Clinicians need up-to-date information on the role of germline and tumor genetic testing for risk stratification of men with localized prostate cancer so that men with indolent disease, unlikely to affect the patients in their lifetime, can be encouraged to pursue active surveillance and avoid treatment and side effects.

The goal of this activity is to increase participants' ability to leverage recent developments in the care of patients with advanced prostate cancer to improve clinical outcomes and quality of life.
