Dear PCa Support Group members:

What does a bank robbery in Sweden in the 1960s have to do with how prostate cancer progresses and metastasizes? Come to our next support group meeting to find out! Our meeting will take place at the usual time and usual place, noon on Wednesday February 14 in Baldwin 1-507.

Our speaker will be Jacob Orme, MD, PhD, a Mayo genitourinary medical oncologist who works in the clinic and the laboratory to make cancer care better for his patients. Dr. Orme discovered a novel biomarker "switch" in advanced highly-resistant prostate cancers. These discoveries have led to the development of multiple new experimental therapeutics and clinical trials. Dr. Orme has received awards from Mayo Clinic, the Minnesota Society of Clinical Oncology, the National Institutes of Health, and the Prostate Cancer Foundation to support his work.

The title of his talk is "Prostate Cancer Stockholm Syndrome". If you are unable to attend in person, please join via Zoom at the following link:
