A History of CARE™
15 Years of CARE™ and Beyond

2020-2021

While celebrating a milestone of 15 years, CARE™ rapidly adapted to virtual programming. Traditional Canadian and international programming run by CARE™ became virtual and generated greater participation rates. Levels of engagement with CARE™ and clinicians in social media and through electronic communication grew. Select highlights include: the 10th annual Canadian Hematology Conference and the 15th annual CARE@ASH conference. The period has reinforced the need to stay true to CARE™ roots - delivering relevant education programming framed from a Canadian perspective. CARE™ faculty look forward to the next milestone 2025 and 20 years of continuous CARE™ programming.
CARE™ Prostate Cancer Treatment Algorithm

Various needs assessments were used to gain further insight among the specialist groups on treatment patterns, sequencing, monitoring patterns and in the patient referral process. Faculty continue to meet at the GU-centric conferences (ASCO, ASCO-GU, CUA, CUOG) to discuss new data, treatment options. The latest version of the Prostate Cancer Treatment Algorithm is presented within the ASCO GUC 2019 Report.
