Eliminating variations in under and over-treatment of prostate cancer in the East of England: Tools for standardising patient counselling.
Presentation by : Vincent J Gnanapragasam, Professor of Urology and Honorary Consultant Urologist
Cambridge Urology Translational Research and Clinical Trials
January 2024
Professor Vincent Gnanapragasam, the East of England regional Clinical Lead for Urology sparked a great amount of interest at the East of England Urology Network Cancer Meeting with this presentation. This aligns with a national recommendation to address treatment variation in men with Prostate Cancer as a priority.
There is variation in the use of CPG (and PREDICT) to guide management decisions, which is now recommended best practice and this is important of course for the men so that they are fully informed of all their management options and the risk vs benefits / long term effects, but also we do need to start protecting our resources to ensure that those men that most need radical treatment have timely access and we reduce long waits.
