WEBINAR SERIES

Imaging Biomarkers in Metastatic Prostate Cancer

The second most common cause of cancer death in men is prostate cancer. The most severe form of the disease is metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), which is marked by soft tissue and bone metastasis that progress even in the presence of reduced hormone levels. Modern treatment regimens have demonstrated overall survival at 5 years at ~25%, which is great progress, however, there remains a high unmet medical need for treatment as well as improved biomarkers.

The diagnosis, staging, treatment planning and monitoring of mCRPC relies on a combination of clinical tests, including several standard and advanced imaging methods.

In this webinar, Dr. Silva and Dr. Kuo will review standard of care imaging in mCRPC and introduce nuclear medicine methods that monitor disease and drug targets, such as PSMA. They will also review multi-parametric MRI methods that aim to improve the characterization of disease and monitoring of drug treatment. Finally the webinar will demonstrate how our advanced analytical tools can assist radiologists and oncologists in the evaluation of metastatic disease status and response to therapy.
