CNE Lecture: Update Series in Prostate Cancer 2017
As mentioned before, the Hong Kong College of Urological Nursing endeavours to run ongoing CNE lecture series for nurses over the years, in addition to the summer Annual Scientific Meeting and the occasional ad hoc themed symposia and workshops. Following the success of six successive CNE Lecture Series on ‘Uro-Radiology’, ‘Uro-Infection’, ‘Neuro-Urology and Voiding Dysfunction’, ‘Prostate Care’, ‘Uro-oncology & Kidney Tumour’ and ‘Management of Bladder Cancer’, the College will embark on the seventh series in the near future. The theme of the coming CNE Lecture Series will be on ‘Prostate Cancer’. Because of the importance of the disease, the rapid development in related science and technologies, and thus a large amount of educational material on this topic, we will split the curriculum into two parts, aiming to be covered over two years.
Objective
The lectures aim to provide basic revision cum update information, to serve the prime objectives of Continuing Nursing Education.
Target Candidates
These lectures are targeted at all nurses whose jobs are related to urology, or nurses who are simply interested in urology, particularly those who are for one reason or another unable to enroll onto a formal course in urological nursing.
Topics
PSA, screening and early detection
Prostate biopsy
New imaging modalities and role of imaging
Staging of prostate cancer and risk stratification
Deferred treatment – active surveillance and watchful waiting
Nursing perspective of pre-treatment prostate cancer patient care
