AM2019 EDU28 Treatment of Metastatic Prostate Cancer: Ready for Primetime?

At the PRO session for the AM2018, it was noted that community radiation oncologists are increasingly finding oligometastases as part of their practice or being referred these patients after advanced staging by medical oncology or urology. Additionally, there is increasing interest in urology to treat the prostate in men with metastatic prostate cancer. Multiple recent trials have been published or presented (including at ASTRO 2018) to begin to address these clinical scenarios, but it is sufficiently new that lack of knowledge and experience in these treatment approaches and delivery is a major issue.

This session will pair with the “Challenging Cases” session, with the oligometastatic session focusing on management of metastatic disease – radiation to primary, mets, and which hormonal agents for how long. This topic is complex and requires both research data discussion and practical application, and as such does not fit within the framework of "Challenging Cases in Prostate Cancer".

Target Audience

The meeting is designed to meet the interests of medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, radiation physicists, nurses, radiation therapists, radiation dosimetrists, radiation biologists, residents, and specialists.

Learning Objectives

  • Describe the current evidence related to treatment of the prostate and mets for metastatic prostate cancer.
  • Explore how to screen, counsel, and treat men for whom radiation is appropriate.
