In the following episodes, Ryan reviews the differences between genetics and genomics in prostate cancer, treatment options for men with advanced disease and how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected individuals, while also addressing racial disparities associated with prostate cancer.

“I am delighted to work with CURE and ZERO to address some of the common concerns faced by men who are recently diagnosed with prostate cancer as well as those who have been receiving treatment for many years,” said Ryan. “My hope is that those who listen to this series are able to be better informed patients with their doctors, have a deeper understanding of their own unique set of situations with this disease, and to alleviate some of the natural and expected anxieties of being a cancer patient.”
