This program is supported by an independent educational grant from Pfizer. This education program is available to healthcare professionals globally.
Join prostate cancer experts Dr. Michael Schweizer and Dr. Emmanuel Antonarakis for this accredited, interactive teaching session focused on the latest updates for 2026 in overcoming treatment resistance and optimizing therapeutic pathways in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Through real-world cases and expert-led discussion, faculty will translate emerging evidence into practical strategies to support sequencing decisions after AR pathway inhibitor (ARPI) progression. This program also includes an interview with a patient advocate from Zero Prostate Cancer, Darrell Wilson.
Accreditation: 1.0 CME Credit
Session Overview
Overcoming Resistance and Optimizing Pathways
This case-based session explores how evolving insights into resistance biology can inform more precise, personalized treatment decisions in mCRPC. Faculty will guide learners through common clinical scenarios encountered after ARPI progression, highlighting how biomarkers, emerging mechanisms, and novel non-chemotherapy approaches may shape next steps in care.
- Review emerging insights into resistance biology beyond DNA repair, including lineage plasticity, AR co-activation, and epigenetic dysregulation, and how these concepts are influencing contemporary mCRPC thinking
- Discuss the growing translational rationale for targeting epigenetic pathways such as EZH2, including current evidence gaps and implications for future practice
- Compare novel non-chemotherapy approaches—including radioligand therapies, antibody–drug conjugates, and immunotherapies—and where these modalities may fit within emerging treatment paradigms
- Engage in expert-led Q&A, interactive polling, and a patient voice vignette highlighting real-world decision points, uncertainty, and practice variation
Who Should Attend?
This program is designed for healthcare professionals globally involved in the diagnosis, treatment selection, and ongoing management of patients with mCRPC, including:
- Medical and radiation oncologists
- Urologists
- Oncology nurses and nurse practitioners
- Physician assistants
