Active Surveillance Prostate Cancer Virtual Support Group
Active Surveillance (AS) for low-risk prostate cancer presents its own challenges that are very different from other treatment protocols. This virtual group is for men and caregivers on or considering AS to treat their condition. New participants are given priority to discuss their situation.
Wednesday evenings of each month at 8 pm EST/EDT (US)
This could be scary…It’s almost open enrollment season for Medicare!
A dreaded time to receive multiple communications in untold ways that often read like a foreign language. It’s only fitting that we talked about it the day before Halloween.
Join AnCan as we bring experts Amanda Goodstadt, Esq. from Triage Cancer, and Medicare Insurance Broker Kim Umphres to explain all things confusing around 2024 Medicare insurance options, and make this enrollment season a little less spooky and intimidating.
Our panel will explain the whole menu from alphabet soup plans to doughnut holes! Learn the difference between Traditional and Advantage plans and if you can switch between them, what HMOs and PPOs mean, how to sign up to see any doctor anywhere and much more.

There’s no magic bullet in this prostate cancer game… not even focal therapies, good as they sound.
Listen to world expert Dr. Laurence Klotz speak about what makes a good candidate – and why some come out free of side effects while recurrence may be on the cards for others.
What are the different types of focal therapy and is one better than the other?
Most important for YOU – who’s a good candidate, and who may get suckered by a white shoed urologist??
Join us to find out!

How bad is my prostate cancer??? We’ve all asked ourselves that! Today there are tests to predict its gravity early in the diagnosis and after surgery.
How do these tests work?
… what’s inside the ‘black box’ that makes it an accurate crystal ball?
… and are all tests born equal?
… the test manufacturers won’t say BUT one doc who will is Dr. Todd Morgan – he’s looked inside all of them.
Dr. Morgan is Chief Urologist at the University of Michigan and leads the MUSIC* program.
He will discuss:
the difference between inherited and somatic testing
who should undergo genomic testing
how tests are able to predict
his upcoming randomized trial comparing the leading genomic tests, Decipher, Prolaris, and Oncotype DX
… and more including your questions
* Michigan Urological Surgery and Improvement Collaborative
Dr. Morgan has served on several national guideline committees, including the American Urological Association’s Advanced Prostate Cancer Guidelines, the National Comprehensive Cancer Network’s Prostate Cancer Early Detection Guidelines, the American Society for Clinical Oncology’s Localized Prostate Cancer Guidelines, and the ASCO Molecular Markers for Prostate Cancer Guidelines.
