Late Stage Prostate Cancer

    • Emphasis on landmark clinical trials in metastatic prostate cancer (especially since 2010)
    • Critical analysis and summary of PSA-based prostate cancer screening
    • Advances and integration of genomic sciences in early and advanced stages of prostate cancer

The Respiratory System: Physiology

    • Respiratory system supports metabolism by providing a supply of oxygen and release for carbon dioxide.
    • Physiologic mechanisms support these respiratory processes along with the balance of body pH, and the understanding of these mechanisms is critical to caring for the critically ill patient.
    • The above are governed by specific physiologic laws and achieved through unique anatomy described herein.

Diagnosis and Management of Genitourinary Rhabdomyosarcoma

    • Description of current risk stratification and evidence for it used by collaborative groups.
    • New risk stratification system for high-risk metastatic rhabdomyosarcoma.
    • Use of PAX3-FKHR/FOXO1 and PAX7-FKHR/FOXO1 fusion-gene status in risk allocation.
    • Role of [F-18]-fluorodeoxy-D-glucose position emission tomography (FDG-PET) as an emerging imaging modality for the diagnosis, staging, and evaluation of treatment response.

Breast Cancer in Young Women

    • Population-based incidence breast cancer in young women have been stable.,
    • Growth of this population demographic has resulted in larger numbers of young patients.
    • Young women are more likely to be diagnosed with aggressive phenotypes, but systemic therapies improved outcomes.
    • Options for locoregional and systemic therapy should be based on disease stage phenotype.
    • Genetic counseling and fertility preservation options should be discussed with all young breast cancer patients.
