A Medical Oncologist Reflects on a Typical Prostate Cancer Patient

In the second article of this series, Benjamin H. Lowentritt, MD, FACS, provides clinical insights on micronized abiraterone as a treatment for patients with prostate cancer.

Amar Kishan, MD, highlights findings showing that MRI-guided SBRT is superior to CT-guided SBRT in localized prostate cancer.

“These findings suggest that to reduce health disparities for Veterans in the prevention of prostate cancer, clinicians should consider an individual Veteran’s risk for prostate cancer including factors such as race and age," says Kyung Min Lee, PhD.

“Localized prostate cancer is a very complicated disease space,” says Aaron A. Laviana, MD, MBA.

In the third article of the series, Melanie McGilloway, NP-C, an advanced practice provider at Genesis Urology in San Diego, discusses the various formulations of leuprolide, a gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist used for treating advanced prostate cancer.

"Keeping up-to-date is challenging, and rapid progress that is now occurring in our field is truly amazing," writes Michael S. Cookson, MD, MMHC, FACS.
