Cancer Survivorship 101: Prostate Cancer Survivorship

"Prostate Cancer Survivorship", with Alicia K. Morgans, MD, MGH
Due to the quarantine, we had to cancel our annual in-person Cancer Survivorship 101 event that was planned for June, 2020. Instead, we created a series of video lectures presented here on our website and our KZbin page featuring the speakers that were to be highlighted at the event.

I am a Genitourinary Medical Oncologist and the Medical Director of the Survivorship Program at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. As a clinician and investigator, I have expertise in clinical trials and patient-reported outcome measures, as well as incorporating patient preferences and beliefs into clinical decision making. My research has investigated complications of systemic therapy for prostate cancer survivors, including the study of skeletal, cardiovascular, diabetic, and cognitive complications, and my work has been funded by grants from the Prostate Cancer Foundation and the Department of Defense. I believe in contributing to the field outside of the work I do at my institution, and have been fortunate to participate in activities that have enabled this, including the AJCC, the advanced and localized prostate cancer treatment guidelines committees of the American Urologic Association, and the cardio-oncology committee of American Heart Association. Since 2016, I have been the President of the Medical Advisory Board for ZERO, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting education and research funding for prostate cancer research.
Survivor Journeys has been a non-profit organization since March, 2015. Its origins, began during the year-long medical quarantine Dr Jay Burton lived through after his stem cell transplant for Acute Myeloid Leukemia which ended in late October 2011. Dr Burton’s emotional and social support experiences prompted speaking engagements about cancer survivorship. The community interest generated from these talks, as well as the lack of emotional and support services for cancer survivors in our region, led to the creation of Survivor Journeys.
