New AUA Guideline (2024): Salvage Therapy for Prostate Cancer

CME Available: https://auau.auanet.org/node/41074

At the conclusion of this activity, participants will be able to:

1. Identify and effectively interpret the optimal timing of salvage radiation therapy following radical prostatectomy, considering the factors that can influence this decision in a clinical context.

2. Develop an understanding of which patients should receive ADT alongside salvage radiation therapy following radical prostatectomy, and how to appropriately decide the duration of ADT for patients.

3. Identify and analyze the use of risk stratification tools and next-generation imaging techniques for guiding treatment decisions and monitoring in patients with biochemical recurrence following primary therapy.

4. Evaluate the role and benefits of advanced treatment options such as intensified systemic therapy and metastasis-directed therapy.

5. Evaluate and understand the indications, efficacy, and potential complications of different salvage local therapies, such as salvage prostatectomy, radiotherapy and cryotherapy, for patients with local recurrence following primary radiation therapy.
