Michael Gorin, MD
Urologist
Michael Gorin, MD, is a urologist practicing at Urology Associates and UPMC Western Maryland and a Clinical Assistant Professor of Urology at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. He’s an internationally recognized expert on the use of molecular imaging techniques in the management of urologic malignancies. His research includes studying PSMA-targeted PET imaging of prostate and kidney cancer and 99mTc-sestamibi SPECT imaging of small renal tumors. Dr. Gorin is also known for his work developing novel methods for performing MRI-guided transperineal prostate biopsy and focal ablative treatments of prostate cancer. Also, he is the Chief Global Advisor on Medical Affairs to KOELIS, Inc., a world leader in the use of 3D ultrasound technology for performing urologic procedures.Neal D. Shore, MD, FACS

Expanding the Role of Radiopharmaceuticals for Prostate Cancer Management
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
This activity is supported by educational grants from Lantheus Medical Imaging, Blue Earth Diagnostics, and Applied Accelerator Applications, a division of NovartisDATE OF RELEASE/EXPIRATION
This activity was released on May 3, 2022 and is valid until May 3, 2023. Requests for credit must be made no later than May 3, 2023.TARGET AUDIENCE
The target audiences for the proposed HCP activity are urologists; radiation, surgical, and medical oncologists; radiologists; nuclear medicine specialists; pathologists; and other HCPs interested/involved in the diagnostic and therapeutic management of patients with prostate cancer.STATEMENT OF NEED/PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer affecting men in the US, with approximately 1 in 8 men expected to be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetimes. While significant treatment advances have been made, prostate-cancer mortality remains high and accurate diagnosis and staging are critical to provide timely interventions and optimize outcomes.
Newer imaging techniques using molecular radiotracers provide improved sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy compared to conventional modalities for prostate-cancer detection. While prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) imaging shows clear clinical utility to identify disease earlier, it can still be difficult to determine which situations require PSMA PET/CT imaging to identify disease burden and redefine high-volume disease.
Join urologists and prostate-cancer experts Dr. Neal Shore and Dr. Michael Gorin to discuss the role of approved and emerging radiopharmaceuticals in the optimal management of prostate cancer. Panelists will compare newer radiotracers with conventional imaging and review recent safety and efficacy data on the integration of molecular imaging into all stages of prostate cancer.EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES
After completing this activity, the participant should be better able to:- Outline clinical-trial data for approved and investigational radiotracers for prostate-cancer imaging
- Evaluate clinical scenarios in which PSMA PET identifies disease burden beyond radionuclide bone scans and CT in order to identify disease recurrence in patients with prostate cancer
- Analyze the safety and efficacy of emerging theranostic agents for the treatment of advance prostate cancer
