Course Overview

Prostate cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer among men and a leading cause of cancer-related mortality. Approximately one in eight men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during their lifetime. Despite advancements in screening and treatment, this condition remains a public health challenge due to its heterogeneity, variable progression, and disparities in outcomes across racial and socioeconomic populations. Within this continuing education activity, participants will review the etiology, risk factors, staging, and diagnosis of prostate cancer. This activity will also review available treatment options, including chemotherapy, hormone therapy, immunotherapy, and emerging agents. Throughout the activity, an emphasis will be placed on interprofessional communication and shared decision-making.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this educational activity, participants should be able to:

  • Describe the pathophysiology, staging, and risk factors associated with prostate cancer
  • Compare and Contrast pharmacologic agents used in the treatment of prostate cancer
  • Identify supportive care strategies for patients undergoing treatment for prostate cancer
  • Describe the importance of multidisciplinary care and shared decision-making in the management of prostate cancer
