Advances In™: Testing and Treatment of Metastatic CRPC with PARP Inhibitors

Release Date: November 30, 2021
Expiration Date: November 30, 2022


Activity Overview

It is estimated that more than 248,000 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer (PC) in 2021. PC is a complex and heterogeneous disease and as such, determining the best treatment approach is convoluted. With advances in DNA analysis and targeted agents, biomarker testing has provided clinicians with additional parameters regarding patient- and tumor-specific factors that can improve risk stratification and treatment decision-making.
 
This online educational activity is designed to provide expert interpretation of new and emerging data on the treatment of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) with PARP inhibitors with a forward-looking perspective on how new and novel agents might impact clinical practice. The essentials of biomarkers tests and testing guidelines, current and emerging PARP inhibitors for the management of CRPC, and management of treatment-related toxicities will be presented in a multimedia format, including a series of video interviews with expert thought leaders integrated into text-based elements.
