Prostate Cancer Learning Hub Supports Doctors with Online Education
Prostate Cancer Learning Hub for Healthcare Professionals Launched on epgonline.org
Prostate cancer is the third most frequently diagnosed cancer in Europe and the most common cancer among European men.[1] It is thought that 30-40% of patients with prostate cancer do not currently receive optimum care, receiving either over- or under-treatment.[2]
Designed with busy doctors in mind, the online Learning Hub conveniently organises a range of education content, reference materials and decision support tools, all focusing specifically on prostate cancer. These include monthly insights from key publications, video coverage from key events, news, Continuing Medical Education programs, apps, patient materials, current treatment guidelines and clinical trials.
Free to access for urology specialists, oncologists, general practitioners and other HCPs globally at www.epgonline.org/prostate-cancer-learning-hub, the Prostate Cancer Learning Hub is hosted on epgonline.org – the website for healthcare professionals. The website is owned by UK-based company EPG Health Media (Europe) Ltd and attracts over 500,000 regular users.
Thanks to an educational grant from Ferring Pharmaceuticals, users of epgonline.org are now able to benefit from the latest best practice guidance on tackling the burden of prostate cancer” said Chris Cooper, EPG Health Media “The new resource will be continually updated, providing valuable support for doctors who need to keep current on multidisciplinary management approaches, available treatment options and associated symptoms”
