Thursday, April 22, 2021
8:30 AM – 10:00 AM Eastern Time
Live NCPD-accredited webinar

Topics to Be Discussed

• Overview of the incidence and prognosis of prostate cancer; patient signs and symptoms at presentation and diagnostic/staging considerations; key patient- and disease-specific factors affecting patient care (eg, Gleason score, PSA, PSA doubling time)
• Defining nonmetastatic (M0) castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) in clinical practice; efficacy of next-generation antiandrogen agents (apalutamide, darolutamide and enzalutamide), practical integration into the management of M0 disease and the spectrum and frequency of toxicities, including CNS-related adverse events (eg, fatigue, seizure, falls)
• Clinical, biologic and practical factors (eg, age, duration of therapy, extent and sites of metastases) guiding the choice between secondary hormonal therapy and chemotherapy for metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer; effectiveness and tolerability of antiandrogen agents (eg, enzalutamide or apalutamide) or chemotherapy (eg, docetaxel) in combination with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) compared to ADT alone
• Clinical and biologic factors affecting the selection and sequencing of secondary hormonal therapy, chemotherapy and other therapeutic modalities (eg, cabazitaxel, radium-223) for patients with metastatic CRPC
• Rationale and clinical strategy for molecular testing for deleterious germline or somatic HRR (homologous recombination repair) gene mutations in patients with metastatic CRPC; mechanism of action, effectiveness and side effects of PARP inhibitors (ie, olaparib and rucaparib) and practical incorporation into therapy

Target Audience
This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of oncology nurses, nurse practitioners and clinical nurse specialists involved in the treatment of prostate cancer.

Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to

• Apply existing and emerging research data in the therapeutic and supportive care of patients with early and advanced prostate cancer.
• Evaluate the published research database supporting the recent FDA approvals of secondary hormonal agents in the management of nonmetastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), and apply this information in the discussion of nonresearch treatment options with patients.
• Counsel patients with hormone-sensitive metastatic prostate cancer regarding the use of cytotoxic and secondary hormonal therapy to ensure appropriate and informed shared decision-making.
• Recognize how prior therapeutic exposure and patient and disease characteristics factor into the selection and sequencing of available systemic treatments for metastatic CRPC.
• Describe the rationale for testing patients with progressive CRPC for BRCA1/2 or other DNA damage repair pathway abnormalities, and advise individuals found to harbor these genetic abnormalities about the FDA approvals and potential benefits of PARP inhibitors.
• Educate patients about the side effects associated with approved therapies commonly used for advanced prostate cancer, and provide preventive strategies to reduce or ameliorate these toxicities.
• Recall available data and the design of ongoing clinical trials evaluating other novel agents and strategies for prostate cancer, and counsel appropriate patients about availability and participation.
