Episode 13 - Final Insights
During the conclusion of this panel discussion, the panelists provide their final insights about managed care’s role in castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC).
E. David Crawford, MD, explains that as agents continue to develop for the treatment of CRPC, there is a need to better evaluate their roles. He explains that managed care needs to assess which factors are most important to patients and third-party payers.
Michael Kolodziej, MD, explains that although CRPC has entered an exciting era, there are many outstanding challenges that need to be addressed.
