25th Annual Southwest Prostate Cancer Symposium 2020

December 12, 2020

This Symposium will educate the attendees about advances in the management of localized and advanced prostate cancer, with a focus on imaging, technology, and training in the related devices.

The goal of this educational program is to equip urologists, radiation oncologists, medical oncologists, and other healthcare professionals involved in prostate cancer care with the up-to-date clinical knowledge and tools they need to best treat their patients. The program aims to provide a technical update on all aspects of diagnosis and treatment of localized and advanced disease.

This program also offers training sessions for healthcare professionals to become proficient in imaging, scanning, and prostate cancer treatment-related devices on site.

Keywords:  Prostate, Cancer

Target Audience

  • Urologists
  • Radiation Oncologists
  • Medical Oncologists
  • Physicists
  • Other healthcare professionals 

 

Learning Objectives

Participants who engage in this educational intervention will be able to: 

  • Assess which diagnostic tests help distinguish a lower versus higher-risk patient
  • Recognize how the decrease in early detection has resulted in prostate cancers presenting at a more advanced stage
  • Describe technical advances, including robotic radical prostatectomy, image-guided external beam radiotherapy (IGRT), proton beam therapy, hypofractionated radiotherapy (SBRT), computer-guided brachytherapy, and mpMRI, and demonstrate their role in prostate cancer treatment and detection
  • Identify appropriate patients for radiation-based treatments such as brachytherapy, brachytherapy boost, IMRT/IGRT, proton therapy robotic and open prostatectomy, and focal therapy taking serum and genetic influences into account
  • Assess the implications of local failure after radiation therapy and introduce new radio-protective technologies
  • Discuss treatment of advanced disease, specifically in the non-metastatic CRPC disease state
  • Contribute to group discussions regarding potential future research directions to address how we can improve inter-observer agreement and overall quality, develop machine-learning techniques, and improve current technology for staging high-risk disease and for disease monitoring after therapy.
