Target Audience
The primary target audience for this initiative consists of medical directors, pharmacy directors, clinical pharmacists, specialty pharmacists, quality directors, as well as network physicians affiliated with various MCOs, health systems, and other payer organizations. Other managed care professionals include nurses, case managers, policy administrators, utilization managers, C-suite executives, and IT professionals.

Statement of Need/Program Overview
Managed care and payer professionals lack knowledge of the disparities in care and barriers to treatment for prostate cancer care, specifically the efficacy and safety profiles of LHRH agonists and GnRH receptor antagonists. These health care professionals need education to improve the quality of treatment across diverse patient populations. In addition, managed care and payer professionals lack knowledge about the non-oncologic risks and comorbidities in patients with prostate cancer.

Educational Objectives
After completing this activity, the participant should be better able to:

• Review evidence of the disparities in care and access barriers to prostate cancer treatment with the goal of closing gaps in care and allowing equal access
• Explain the evidence supporting the efficacy and safety profiles of Luteinizing hormone-releasing Hormone (LHRH) agonists and Gonadotropin-releasing Hormone (GnRH) receptor antagonists in the treatment of prostate cancer
• Assess the importance of timely identification and appropriate management of prostate cancer across diverse patient populations, including aligning treatment selection with patient preferences
• Identify the non-oncologic risks and comorbidities in patients with prostate cancer receiving ADT including cardiovascular, metabolic, and bone disease
