3 Programme highlights Delegates are encouraged to participate and engage with speakers and colleagues by asking questions throughout the day. Prostate cancer Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men and the first stage of the diagnostic pathway is often with the GP. We look at the rest of the pathway including TRUS, biopsy, bone scans and MRI before discussing Gleason scoring and clinical staging. We will go through the treatment options in early and advanced prostate cancer and what to expect when patients are discharged. BPH/LUTS Enlarged prostate affects around a third of men over the age of 50. We cover issues around diagnosis including distinction between storage and voiding, overactive bladder, presentation and under-reporting. It also covers medical management, who to refer to secondary care and what happens when you do, with case scenarios for debate. Case studies on PSA and benign disease Putting the theory into practice through a practical exercise exploring real patient case studies, comparing your approach to that taken by the speaker. Prostatitis Often called the cinderella of the three prostate diseases, we will look at what prostatitis is, the difference between acute and chronic forms, practical management for treating it in primary care and when to refer to secondary care. PSA and its complexities Panel discussion and audience debate around the thorny issue of PSA testing. What is it? What is it useful for? What is the latest medical research and NICE guidance on PSA testing? Debate will be further stimulated by specific case scenarios relating to BPH and prostate cancer. Prostate cancer: the patient s story A patient shares their personal experience of prostate cancer. Side effects of treatment In the primary care setting, you are likely to be required to deal with the side effects secondary care treatments can have on men and their families. We will look at issues such as continence, erectile dysfunction and psychological well being.
