Upcoming Presentations
Every month, experts in prostate cancer share their time and expertise with us in online meetings that are intended for anyone who wants to learn more about prostate cancer: patients, partners, families, friends, and their medical teams. Speakers cover a wide range of prostate cancer topics, from testing and diagnosis to advances in treatment and living with your disease. Every live presentation is followed by Q&A.
Presentations are usually on the fourth Thursday of the month, with occasional "fireside chats" of about 20 minutes at the beginning of Tuesday support group meetings.
Most presentations are recorded and can be found in the Presentations Library.
