23rd Annual Southwest Prostate Cancer Symposium 2018

Scottsdale, AZ US
April 12, 2018 to April 15, 2018

The 23rd Annual Southwest Prostate Cancer Symposium 2018™ will bring together world-renowned experts in the management of prostate cancer and will provide a technical update on all aspects of diagnosis and treatment of localized and advanced disease.

Topics of discussion will include Genetic Markers, Prostate Pathology, mpMRI, Mapping Biopsy, Active Surveillance, Focal Therapy, Robotic Prostatectomy, Cryoablation, HIFU, Brachytherapy, IMRT/IGRT, New Approaches to Castrate Resistant Disease, Micronutrients, Morbidity Management and Testosterone Replacement Therapy.

This program aims to maximize the educational component and allow for time to explore all that the beautiful Scottsdale area offers in the spring.
 

Target Audience

This activity is designed for and will benefit urologists, radiation oncologists, medical oncologists, physicists, and other health care professionals. It will educate the attendees about advances in management of localized and advanced prostate cancer.

 

Learning Objectives

• Determine which prostate cancer patients might benefit from active surveillance rather than definitive treatment

• Discuss the role of hormone therapy combined with chemotherapy in metastatic disease

• Describe technical advances, including robotic radical prostatectomy, image-guided external beam radiotherapy, proton beam therapy, hypofractionated radiotherapy, computer-guided brachytherapy, mpMRI, and demonstrate their roles in     prostate cancer treatment and detection

• Identify appropriate patients for radiation-based treatments such as, brachytherapy IMRT/IGRT, proton therapy, robotic and open prostatectomy, and focal therapy taking serum and genetic influences into account

• Describe the role of therapeutic layering in advanced or castration-resistant prostate cancer and discuss treatment side effects

• Identify patients with low testosterone, testosterone replacement in prostate cancer patients, and describe benefits of penile rehabilitation in patients treated by radiotherapy and prostatectomy
