UC San Diego Prostate Cancer Patient Summit: February 1, 2025
Live Event!
The UC San Diego Prostate Cancer Summit is a dynamic and interactive forum to connect, learn, and share hope. It is designed to arm patients with knowledge about prostate cancer, provide support and tools for caregivers taking care of a loved one with prostate cancer, and engage patient advocates about advancing the field. Whether you’re a patient arming yourself with knowledge about the disease and next steps in fighting it; a caregiver looking for support and tools to take care of a loved one; or a fierce advocate engaging with leaders to speak out for the cause, the Prostate Cancer Summit is for you.
This year we’ve once again added a community “Think Tank” on Friday afternoon, January 31.

Please join us for the third in a series of Virtual Prostate Cancer Summits on Thursday, January 23, 2025 from 10:30 a.m.-noon Pacific.
The goal of this session is to openly discuss issues, challenges, and joys that caregivers face, and offer resources to help. These issues can differ based on the stage of prostate cancer. You’ll hear from caregivers in their own words as well as our expert panel: Alicia Morgans, MD, MPH (Dana Farber), Sharon Bober, PhD (Dana Farber), and Brenda Martone, MSN, ANP-BC, AOCNP (Northwestern). Learn about communication, changes in relationships, advocating for your loved one, strategies and resources to care for yourself, and more.
