September is Prostate Cancer Awareness month and we are talking to patient advocates to get a better insight into their roles in major clinical groups. Mike Scott is talking to Tony Crispino, patient advocate to the Genitourinary Cancer Section of the Southwest Oncology Group (SWOG) and a long time prostate cancer advocate on his role and address matters like training available, learning about evidence based medicine and funding of clinical trials. Tony will also explore the role of SWOG in recent major clinical trials (like the CHAARTED trial and pivotal trials for enzalutamide, radium-223, abiraterone acetate, etc.) Mike Scott is joined by prostate cancer advocates Paul Carpenter, Jan Manarite, and Allen Edel.
