IAH Prostate Cancer Support/Education Group - October 2022 Special Guests: This monthly group provides an opportunity to share and learn from other survivors both in and out of treatment. Spouses/Partners/Loved ones welcome! Registration is required This monthly group provides an opportunity to share and learn from other survivors both in and out of treatment. Spouses/Partners/Loved ones welcome!
Dr. Krishnan Patel from the National Cancer Institute’s (NCI) Radiation Oncology department will join us October 24, 2022 for a discussion about prostate cancer. Dr. Patel is a specialist whose practice and research focuses on technical advances in radiation therapy and men’s quality of life after treatment for prostate cancer.
Dr. Patel will plan to present a brief talk on some basics regarding the quality of life comparisons between surgery and radiation therapy, recent advances in radiation therapy and imaging including PSMA PET/CTs, as well as a brief discussion of treatment options for recurrence. He will also highlight open trials at the NCI which you may be interested in participating in. Finally, he will be available for questions which can be pre-submitted to our team at david.mcginness@inova.org or asked via the chat during the Zoom session. As Dr. Patel has an interest in learning more about men’s experiences with their treatment and their quality of life after treatment, questions or comments are strongly encouraged. Our hope is that this event will be of interest to all men who have prostate cancer and spur an interesting discussion.
After the talk, if you would like to get in touch with him he can be reached at krishnan.patel@NIH.gov. If you would like information on any of the trials to make a referral you may reach out to his study nurse coordinator, Theresa Cooley-Zgela at theresa.cooleyzgela@nih.gov or by phone at (301) 451-8905.
Hope to see you there! If you have questions in the meantime feel free to email me (David).
