At AnCan, we LOVE friends! And helping you get resources you need to empower you to “Be Your Own Best Advocate!” Here are some great, informative, and FREE resources from our partner CancerCare. Be sure and check them out!
As they say, all good things must come to an end. While our 2020 Webinar Series “”Active Surveillance and Beyond” is finished, our support groups are still going strong! And if you’re feeling a little sentimental like we are, you can always rewatch the first, second, and third webinars.
Pathologist Dr. Jonathan Epstein (Director of Surgical Pathology at Johns Hopkins Institutions in Baltimore, Maryland) explains why he opposes reclassifying Gleason 6 as a noncancer, and why he thinks a second opinion should be sought on all pathologies, not just prostate cancer.
We want to graciously thank Dr. Epstein for answering our attendee’s questions!

The Active Surveillance path in Prostate Cancer comes with a lot of questions, and that’s why we are always so glad to offer support and resources. On December 2nd, in our AS prostate cancer virtual support group, we had the utmost pleasure of hosting Dr. Judd W. Moul, MD, FACS (Professor of Surgery at Duke University), who happens to be one of the top experts in the field of Prostate Cancer!
He shares a wonderful dialogue about AS, and answers many of our attendee’s questions. Our own moderators learned something new. Thank you so much, Dr. Moul!

After ourfirstand second webinar in our series “Active Surveillance and Beyond”, we had the absolute pleasure of having radiologist Dr. Antonio Westphalen (Head of abdominal imaging at the University of Washington in Seattle.) for our third one.
Dr. Westphalen entitled his program,”The Value of mpMRI in Monitoring Men on Active Surveillance.” He discussed how mpMRI is an important factor in diagnosing and surveilling prostate cancer in active surveillance. But he said other factors need to be taken into account, including PSA testing, digital rectal exams, and genomic testing.
We want to graciously thank Dr. Westphalen for answering our attendee’s questions!
AnCan is keeping the informational content going to make sure we fully support the needs of our incredible community. We had the absolute pleasure of having Natalie Ledesma, MS RD(Oncology Dietitian, Patient and Family Cancer Support Center, UCSF Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Center) speak to our Active Surveillance Prostate Cancer Group about Nutrition and AS. We’re sure you will enjoy Natalie as much as we did!
