CME Available: cme.auanet.org/URL/FOCUS265ONL
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
After participating in this CME activity, participants will be able to:
- Integrate cardiovascular (CV) risk assessment into ADT initiation by applying key findings from the REVELUTION-1 trial to identify patients at elevated risk for atherosclerosis and MACE.
- Compare and apply the CV safety profiles of LHRH agonists versus GnRH receptor antagonists to guide personalized ADT selection in patients with varying CV risk.
- Implement streamlined monitoring strategies for men on oral ADT, including testosterone levels, lipid and blood pressure evaluation, and surveillance for early CV risk indicators.
- Collaborate with cardiology and primary care to optimize statin use and coordinate CV risk-reduction strategies for prostate cancer patients receiving ADT.
- Strengthen shared decision making and adherence by incorporating discussions of oncologic benefit, CV risk, and mitigation strategies into routine oral ADT counseling and follow-up.
