The goal of this program is to improve the management of advanced prostate cancer. After hearing and assimilating this program, the clinician will be better able to:

1. Choose effective therapy for castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). 2. Recognize the role of androgen suppression in the treatment of CRPC. 3. Compare the benefits and risks of - and -emitting radiopharmaceuticals. 4. Describe the mechanism of action and advantages of fluorodeoxyuridine monophosphate (FdUMP) polymer in cancer treatment. 5. Consider the potential role of agents that target prostate-specific membrane antigen in the treatment of PC.
