Workflow in Advanced Prostate Cancer Care

This episode, titled ‘Workflow in Advanced Prostate Cancer Care,’ features expert faculty discussing the following questions:

1. How do workflow, staffing, or practice infrastructure influence care coordination for patients receiving oral ADT in advanced prostate cancer?
   1. What role does specialty pharmacies have in advanced prostate cancer care coordination in your clinic?

The panelists address real-world challenges related to staffing turnover, workflow variability, and the risk of missed care in advanced prostate cancer management. Faculty acknowledge that even in highly resourced centers, critical elements such as bone-protective therapy, cardiovascular monitoring, or drug–drug interactions can be overlooked. The discussion emphasizes the importance of systematized documentation, standardized checklists, and clear team communication to reduce errors. Panelists also highlight the growing potential for AI-enabled tools and EMR alerts to support clinicians in managing complex, longitudinal care while reinforcing the need for a clear clinical “quarterback.” Throughout the conversation, the experts provide a comprehensive reflection on the field and the factors that may shape how clinicians approach care moving forward.

In the next episode, ‘Cardiovascular Risk and ADT Use in Prostate Cancer and Real-World Experience’, panelists review evolving data on cardiovascular outcomes with different ADT agents and how these findings influence treatment selection in patients with cardiovascular risk. Emerging evidence supporting GnRH antagonists is discussed alongside the need for continued monitoring and individualized decision-making.
