At this year’s American Urological Association Annual Meeting, #MyTeam and I have gotten the opportunity to participate in insightful conversations about scientific innovation in genitourinary cancers. Today, new data in high-risk localized prostate cancer (HR LPC) from Johnson & Johnson Innovative Medicine will be presented. #ProstateCancer is one of the most common cancers among American men. Sadly, many men with prostate cancer will experience recurrence within a few years.
