Changing Prostate Cancer Treatment Practices: Insights from the PACE Trial

March 8, 2024

If you cannot access ON24, please view the recording here.

Join us for an upcoming webinar on the PACE Trial, where we will delve into the latest findings and insights on this groundbreaking study. Led by Professor van As, this multi-center, randomized controlled trial has already shown promising results and has the potential to change the landscape of prostate cancer treatment.

During the webinar, we will hear results from both PACE-A and PACE-B trials and discuss the implications of these findings for patients and healthcare providers alike.
