Audio-Digest Foundation Announces the Release of Oncology Volume 04, Issue 11: Immunotherapy for Prostate Cancer
Glendale, CA (PRWEB) September 09, 2013 -- Audio-Digest Foundation announces the release of Oncology Volume 04, Issue 11: Immunotherapy for Prostate Cancer.
The goal of this program is to review recent research on the use of immunotherapy (IT) in the treatment of prostate cancer (PC). After hearing and assimilating this program, the clinician will be better able to:
1. Compare outcomes of conventional treatment of PC with those from IT.
2. Explain the rationale for combining IT with chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and/or hormonal therapy to more effectively treat patients with advanced PC.
3. Cite research that supports use of IT earlier in the course of PC.
4. List conditions necessary for destruction of tumors by activated T cells.
5. Recognize the advantages of a neoadjuvant approach to IT in PC.
The original programs were presented by James L. Gulley, MD, PhD, Senior Investigator and Deputy Chief, Laboratory of Tumor Immunology and Biology, and Director, Clinical Trials Group, Center for Cancer Research, National Cancer Institute, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD.
