In this online, self-learning activity:
Prostate cancer (PC) is the most common form of malignancy among men in the United States. There are over 299,000 new cases and over 35,000 deaths from PC in the U.S. annually. Over the past few decades, the death rates associated with PC have declined, likely due to changes in screening practices and improved treatment options. However, during the same time period, the incidence of advanced PC has increased, and it accounts for about half of patients who are diagnosed. While patients with local or regional disease have 5-year survival rates close to 100%, that number decreases to under 35% for patients with metastatic disease (mPC).
HCPs including: medical oncologists, oncology surgeons, and pathologists; physicians assistants, nurse practitioners, and pharmacists specializing in oncology; and other clinicians who are involved in providing diagnostic and therapeutic services for patients with mPC.
