Hi-Risk/Recurrent/Advanced PCa Video Chat, Mar 1, 2022
AnCan was honored by the GU ASCO 2022 Conference in mid-Feb, where we pesented our abstract and poster. You can see just how effective our support groups (and recordings!) truly are: https://ancan.org/ancan-recognized-by…
If you missed Dr. Rachel Rubin’s excellent webinar on Intimacy and Sexual Dysfunction, watch the recording at https://ancan.org/webinar-cancer-chro… Next week’s meeting will be on Mon, March 7. That’s because Feb and March mess up our Meeting Calendar, so we have to make adjustments to avoid consecutive nights!
All AnCan’s groups are free and drop-in – join us in person sometime! You can find out more about this and our other 10 monthly prostate cancer groups at https://ancan.org/prostate-cancer/ To sign up to receive a weekly Reminder/Newsletter for this Group or others, go to https://ancan.org/contact-us/

Conclusions: Durable PSA responses occur in up to 40% of patients following a ‘steroid switch’ for PSA progression on abiraterone and prednisone. Studies are ongoing to elucidate the mechanisms underlying this response.
