We were pleased to present the
Prostate Cancer Pathways for Patients and Caregivers event and webcast in Englewood, NJ, on Saturday, September 29. Medical experts presented a brief overview of men’s wellness and health risks, including prostate cancer, followed by educational content for managing prostate cancer that’s newly diagnosed, recurring, or advanced, in addition to a presentation on sexual health and intimacy. Video from the event will be posted within the next few weeks.
We’d like to thank all Pathways event attendees and sponsors, including local support group leaders, the online webcast audience, the team at Englewood Health who hosted the event, and presenters Dr. Anne Katz, Dr. Stacy Loeb, Dr. Charles G. Drake, Dr. Mazyar Ghanaat, Dr. Tracy Scheller, Mark Van Buren; and event sponsors Janssen Oncology, Bayer, Sanofi Genzyme, Astellas/Pfizer, Amgen, Genomic Health, AbbVie, and Augmenix.
Please join us on Saturday, November 3, for the next Prostate Cancer Pathways for Patients and Caregivers event and webcast at NorthShore University HealthSystem in Skokie, IL. This free event will feature a special presentation from renowned expert and author Dr. Jeffrey Albaugh on the management of erectile dysfunction (ED) and incontinence related to prostate cancer treatment.
REGISTER NOW to attend in person in Skokie or via webcast from anywhere with live audio and video. And get additional information on the new
Us TOO web page on Sexual Heath & Intimacy and the new
Us TOO web page on incontinence.
Because prostate cancer can impact intimacy, it’s sometimes referred to as a “couple’s disease.” A woman may be subject to her own concerns in addition to those she shares with her husband/partner.
A Forum for Her is a regular conference call series (and invitation-only Facebook group) from Us TOO which provides women with important peer-to-peer support. Calls are free and participants are not required to share their identity with the group.
Get more information and join a call.
Change Together, an online resource managed by the Astellas Stakeholder Engagement team, will be presenting a
