About this study

In plain language

This online survey study asks prostate cancer experts to agree on key facts to include in patient health records. The goal is to make cancer care reports more consistent, from diagnosis through treatment and follow-up. It is for board-certified experts who actively care for people with prostate cancer.

This study formulates consensus agreement on clinical key elements related to prostate cancer care that are critical for standardization and global reported using a robust Delphi technique, completely remote and electronic. The goal of this survey study is to have a panel of specialty-specific experts create a consensus agreement on a minimum set of key data elements for use in standardized reports. These recommendations would be used to develop standardized methods to report key data in electronic health records to better manage cancer patients at time of diagnosis, treatment, follow up, and into survivorship.

Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
