Purpose: Audio-Digest Foundation CME/CE activities are designed to provide its learners – physicians and other healthcare professionals – with continuing education that will help identify clinical problems in their practice settings, provide content to help to solve those problems, and increase their application of knowledge to practice.
Audio-Digest Urology is specifically designed to provide the participant with state-of-the-art information, including, but not limited to, the diagnosis and management of:
Benign prostatic hyperplasia Bladder cancer Prostate cancer Renal cancer Impotence and infertility Female stress urinary incontinence Calculus disease Interstitial cystitis Pediatric urologic problems Penile malformations Reflux disease Sexually transmitted diseases
The goal of this program is to improve the management of prostate cancer. After hearing and assimilating this program, the clinician will be better able to:
1: Distinguish between watchful waiting and active surveillance (AS) in prostate cancer patients.
2: Employ the AS approach in patients with prostate cancer.
3: Analyze the risk for radiation-induced secondary malignancy after prostate irradiation.
4: Discuss the results of studies comparing the relative risks for secondary malignancy from external beam radiation therapy with other modalities.
5: Recognize the pathologic features that predict durable response from radiation after prostatectomy.
