Subject: Can you get the word out on the AnCan June 2 drop-in program (suggested by Phil Segal)

 

 

 



The AnCan/UsToo speaker at 8 pm Eastern will be Michael Schweizer, MD, a medical oncologist at the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance and the University of Washington in Seattle, who will discuss his research on the drug apalutamide (Erleada) in men on active surveillance. Apalutamide, a nonsteroidal antiandrogen medication, already is used to treat some men with advanced cancers.


We will cover: Could apalutamide be for men on AS who are experiencing anxiety and thinking of dropping out? Or for whose new biopsies show greater volume? Who is the target for such medication? What does this drug do? What are the side effects? Cost?


No registration is required, just drop into our regular meeting.
