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??

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.

Parp-Inhibitors have long been on AnCan’s radar since our dear departed Boardie, Dr. Bill Burhans, found himself with olaparib in his lab in 2015 and convinced his tumor board to prescribe it along with abiraterone for his BRCA2 mutation.
Question is …
What’s a PARP-Inhibitor, and what does it do?
Who benefits from a PARP?
Do PARP-I’s work for everybody?
How can a PARP-I be used for prostate cancer?
AnCan brings you two experts to discuss. Dr. Pamela Munster of the UCSF BRCA Research Institute with her unique peer perspective, and Dr. Neal Shore who just released the TALAPRO-2 Study using a PARP with Xtandi.

And when we say free, we mean that in addition to the lesson being free, the supplies will also be free, too!! We are SO happy that we are able to offer this class – especially because it will benefit a community of individuals that is much more in need of mental health benefits than they might realize.
Last day to register is June 19th. We want to make sure everyone receives their supplies on time!
Your instructor, Hannah Garrison, currently works with the VA hospital system in San Antonio, TX, as a creative arts instructor for their psychiatric units. She has been there to witness the incredible mental health benefits of a creative arts practice in the individuals she works with. We’re here to provide space for a community of like-minded individuals. Starting a new hobby can be intimidating, so that’s why we are so happy to be able to provide your supplies completely free.
PLEASE send this class registration to any and all Veterans you know, that may be interested.
We’ll be using watercolors and watercolor pencils! You’ll be receiving everything needed to complete this project in our class time – minus any napkins and water, of course.
Are you a Veteran in need of some virtual support? Whether you have chronic illness, cancer, mental health concerns, etc; we welcome you with open arms. We’re a virtual support group filled with other peers who have a lot of advice and support to offer.
Next meeting is June 22nd at 8pm ET / 5pm PT. Drop in HERE. No need to register.
