Prostate Cancer

Prostate cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers in men and presents unique challenges across its diagnosis, treatment, and long term management. This course provides pharmacists with a comprehensive understanding of prostate anatomy, the diagnostic process for prostate cancer, and the therapeutic options available—including surgery, radiation, and hormone therapy. It also explores the short- and long-term adverse effects associated with each treatment modality and the strategies used to manage these effects. The course highlights the pivotal role pharmacists can play in supporting men undergoing treatment, improving their quality of life through education, medication management, and emotional support in the community setting.

The course includes a short assessment, culminating in a certificate of completion from Positive Impact.
