In 2018, patients with nonmetastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (nmCRPC) were watching and waiting. Two years later there are three novel androgen receptor inhibitors available. But more options mean more questions for doctors and for patients.

We will also zoom out to give an overview of the disease and current treatment options. This event will be hosted by AnCan Founder Rick Davis and Len Sierra, AnCan Prostate Cancer Moderator. Dr. Eleni Efstathiou from MD Anderson Cancer Center in Texas and Dr. Tom Beer, Chair of Prostate Cancer Research at OSHU.
