Primary- and Metastasis-directed Radiation Therapy in Patients With Oligometastatic Prostate Cancer: The Drive and the Data

Approximately 30% of patients treated for what is believed to be localized, nonmetastatic prostate cancer will progress to advanced disease. During this conference, Dr. Neha Vapiwala will discuss the evolving definitions and emerging literature on oligometastatic prostate cancer. 

Target Audience

Oncologists, Radiation Oncologists, Hematology Oncologists, Radiation Therapists, Endocrinologists, Pulmonologists, Otolaryngologists, Urologists, Colorectal Surgeons, General Surgeons, General Practitioners, Obstetricians and Gynecologists, Nurses, Social Workers, Patient Navigators and all other interested healthcare professionals.

Learning Objectives

• Analyze rationales for primary-and metastases-directed therapy (MDT) in managing patients with newly diagnosed/asymptomatic (oligo) metastases.  
• Assess evidence on the value of focal therapy in the setting of low-volume metastatic prostate cancer (mPC).
