Episode 5 - Pharmacoeconomic Considerations
During this discussion, Jeffrey D. Dunn, PharmD, MBA, explains how the rapid development of specialty drugs for the treatment of castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) has increased the amount of pharmacoeconomic spending in the United States.
Because there are several options available, and because clinicians have different treatment preferences, Michael Kolodziej, MD, discusses why it is necessary to determine a proper sequencing plan before administering treatment.
