Us TOO Webinar Series
This Thursday the fifth, and final, webinar in Us TOO’s series “What is Right for Me in My Prostate Cancer Treatment?” will be on Genetics and Genomics. Genetics and genomics technology is changing rapidly and there are a growing number of options available to help guide treatment decisions. Join us as we discuss the latest developments in this exciting area with Dr. Heather H. Cheng, Dr. Brittany Szymaniak and Dr. Veda N. Giri. Thursday, July 29, 7:00 - 8:30pm Central. Register at www.ustoo.org/mypcawebinar.
Video is available of the fourth webinar in this series with a discussion on Imaging. Continuing advances in imaging technology and usage can mean more accurate testing and diagnosis related to prostate cancer, and can help guide patients toward the best treatment options for them. The event was recorded on June 24th and featured Dr. Brian T. Helfand and Dr. Laurence Klotz. We thank series sponsors Astellas Pfizer, and webinar sponsors Blue Earth Diagnostics and Lantheus.

Other Webinars
Join ZERO - The End of Prostate Cancer for their webinar: What Veterans Need to Know About Prostate Cancer and How to Get Care in Their Community. Veterans are a high-risk population for prostate cancer, with an incidence rate that is twice that of the general population. It is critical that we protect our protectors. Join this educational webinar and hear from a physician, VA representative, and an elected official, all who play an important role to ensure Veterans have access to screening, quality care, and treatment options. A prostate cancer patient will share his story about the importance of Veterans taking an active role in understanding available support resources and treatment decision-making. July 27th, 6:00pm, Eastern (US and Canada). Register at https://bit.ly/3ed62ue.
