Speaker: Dr. Timothy Thompson
Topic: ” Novel Combination of Therapies for Prostate Cancer”
This is an important topic because treating advanced prostate cancer is not a one size fits all proposition. Prostate Cancer Oncologists are working hard to determine what therapeutic agents and the sequence with which they are administered works best for an individual patient.
Dr. Thompson is a Professor in the Department of Genitourinary Medical Oncology at MD Anderson. He is the Director of Prostate Cancer Basic Science Research and occupies the Joan and Stanford Alexander Distinguished Chair for Prostate Cancer Research. He received his Ph.D. in Pharmaceutical Science from the University of Colorado.
