Prostate Cancer: Are We Over-treating this Disease?

Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in men. Some prostate cancers are slow-growing and may not need definitive treatment, while others are aggressive and will require treatment by one or more of the currently available modalities. This presentation will identify different ways of differentiating among these disparate groups of patients.


This educational activity consists of recorded presentations from the 2010 Advances in the Management of Oncology Patients conference held in Scottsdale, Arizona on April 26-28, 2010.
