2015 PCRI Conference in Los Angeles

This year's PCRI conference in Los Angeles is September 11-13. Who else is going?

I will be there September 12-13.

I'm disappointed Dr. Snuffy Myers is not going to be there. I was hoping Dr. Kwon was going to be there but he is not listed.

Cicero,
Kwon is every other year pretty much. Myers I've seen a dozen times. His talks never change much. I think he mostly promotes his books. He's a nice guy and has some excellent input. But much of his ideas on nutrition and interactions are in desperate need of prospective studies. That's not to discount them but rather state that the ideas need verification of efficacy.

Thanks for the clarifications. I look forward to meeting some of the regulars here, there.

The hubby and I just signed up. Is this conference of value to someone who has had a recent RALP?

Yes.

In my opinion, anyone above Gleason 6 has a significant chance, perhaps 50%, for eventual relapse. Therefore, following, learning, networking about the technology of PCa care is valuable.

I went last year and found the PCRI conference very worthwhile.

If cost is an issue for you make sure you avail yourself of the bring a friend for free gimmick which spreads the now $120 fee to $60 each if you bring a spouse or pair up with someone else attending.

Maybe you could lead that poetry session Andrew!

Teacher - If asked, I might.

Mel - technically that's a poem. I won't make any comments about the quality of verse...
