EVENT DESCRIPTION
Prostate cancer is overwhelming and confusing at times. Do you really understand the characteristics of your own cancer? Do you really understand the pros and cons of available treatment options? What questions should you be researching, and asking your doctors and nurses?
We use an individualized and detailed agenda to accomplish a simple goal – Helping You (the patient or caregiver).
Here are a few comments from our last conference in Virginia Beach:
“The Conference was AMAZING!!! Truly, I’m feeling much better as it’s a stressful journey. Being empowered with information, support and the right questions will help me more than you’ll ever know.”
“The speakers were very good, taking the time for questions at several points in their presentations. Fantastic job! Looking forward to the next one.”
“Great conference – Best I’ve been to in last 24 years.” Peter Moon, PhD, UsTOO support group leader, Richmond, VA
This conference will help you learn how to understand your own cancer better, which will help you develop better questions for your doctors, nurses, etc.
Better questions = Better answers.

WHAT’S NEW
Over the past month there have been no new postings to this web site. Your sitemaster apologizes for this hiatus. The reasons are complex and include the sitemaster's personal health status (nothing really serious but distinctly debilitating) and other business and personal pressures. The current goal is to start to get things back on track as on Monday, November 18, so please be patient with us for just a couple more days.

Now, some early combined results (called a meta-analysis) of three more randomized clinical trials suggest that oncological outcomes may be no worse if men wait to be treated until certain PSA cut-offs are reached.

The trial was carried out in 387 men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) who all had mutations in homologous recombination repair (HRRm) genes and whose disease had progressed on prior treatment with new hormonal agent (e.g. [ 441 more words ]
