TARGET AUDIENCE
These activities are intended for medical oncologists, hematology-oncology fellows and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of prostate cancer.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
- Appreciate the incidence and clinical relevance of PTEN deficiency in prostate cancer, and discern the optimal method to assess PTEN status in patients.
- Appreciate the biological rationale for dual inhibition of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR and androgen receptor (AR) pathways in patients with PTEN-deficient prostate cancer.
- Evaluate available Phase III data with combined AKT inhibition, AR pathway inhibition and androgen deprivation therapy for patients with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer with PTEN deficiency, and consider the role of this form of treatment.
- Implement a plan of care to recognize and manage side effects and toxicities associated with AKT inhibitors in preparation for their potential availability for patients with prostate cancer.
