ForwardDefinitive and Salvage Radiation Therapy for Prostate Cancer
Improvements in technique, as well as advances in technology, have resulted in significant survival advances for those with localized and oligometastatic prostate cancer. In this series we educate learners on how to work in multi-disciplinary teams to provide the highest level of care for their patients which include: rectal spacer/fiducial marker placement, early identification of disease with PSMA PET, aggressive treatments for radiorecurrence and oligometastatic disease.
This educational series offers practical tips for radiation oncologists treating prostate cancer in both the definitive and salvage settings. The first presentation focuses on fiducial/markers placement and incorporating PET imaging findings on radiation planning of prostate cancer. In the second presentation, we evaluate the approach and treatment of oligometastatic prostate cancer. In the third presentation, we review the management of locally radiorecurrent prostate cancer.
TOPICS COVERED:
- PSMA-targeted PET in the Treatment of Prostate Cancer
- Oligometastatic Prostate Cancer
- The Management of Locally Radiorecurrent Prostate Cancer
Please see the Program tab for the session descriptions and presenters.
This activity is available from August 19, 2024 through 11:59 p.m. Eastern time on October 12, 2026.
The content was originally presented and recorded as a live webinar series October 28-November 6, 2024.
Target Audience
This activity is designed to meet the interests of radiation oncologists, physicists, radiation dosimetrists, radiation therapists and residents.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to do the following:
- Describe methods to optimize cure in those with localized or oligometastatic prostate cancer.
- Discuss techniques to mitigate toxicity in the treatment of prostate cancer.
PSMA-targeted PET in the Treatment of Prostate Cancer
— Alexandra Diaz Pardo, MD, MS; Chad Wright, MD, MS, PhD
— Moderators: Shauna McVorran, MD, MHSA and Bhanu Prasad Venkatesulu, MD, MBBS
Rectal spacer and fiducial placement is a valuable method that allows aggressive treatment of localized prostate cancer while simultaneously reducing toxicity. Its success requires advanced procedural skills and work within multi-disciplinary teams. This activity will discuss how to incorporate PET imaging findings on radiation planning of prostate cancer. It will also review the technique for markers placement for prostate cancer.
Oligometastatic Prostate Cancer
— Chad Tang, MD
— Moderators: Shauna McVorran, MD, MHSA and Bhanu Prasad Venkatesulu, MD, MBBS
Radiologic advances and increased availability of SBRT have allowed those with localized/oligometastatic prostate cancer to receive curative therapy that improves survival. Review of new trial data and its application in the clinical setting is imperative to ensure its applicability within the general RO community. In this webinar we review the latest data and current treatment recommendations for oligometastatic prostate cancer.
The Management of Locally Radiorecurrent Prostate Cancer
— Abhishek Solanki, MD, MS
— Moderators: Shauna McVorran, MD, MHSA and Bhanu Prasad Venkatesulu, MD, MBBS
Multiple clinical trials have shown that those with limited prostate cancer benefit from aggressive therapy. Participants learn the latest technologies and techniques that they can offer their patients in their practice including, but not limited to: salvage therapy for radiorecurrent and oligometastatic prostate cancer. In this webinar we review and discuss options for the management of locally radiorecurrent prostate cancer.
