Good Afternoon

I just wanted to let you know about a great set of on-line seminars over the next 6 months being put on by Us-Too in the States

These deal with various aspects of Active Surveillance and the presenters are really top- notch

I’d like to support the people behind this project so I’m forwarding this notice to you  in the hope that you’ll forward it on through your mailing lists so they can really get the seminars well attended

Thanks for your consideration

Regards

Phil Segal

Dr. Peter Carroll, one of the pioneers of the AS approach of monitoring these cancers, will kick off the series on July 30 at 8 p.m. Eastern. His topic is “The Past, Present, and Future of Active Surveillance.” Dr. Carroll stepped down earlier this year as Chair of Urology at the University of California, San Francisco, but remains an active researcher.

ASPI (Active Surveillance Patients Internationa),  PCRI (Prostate Cancer Research Institute), and ZERO - The End of Prostate Cancer co-sponsor the webinars.
