Evidence-based web tool aims to better inform and refine need for treatment in early prostate cancer
A new tool to predict an individual's prognosis following a prostate cancer diagnosis could help prevent unnecessary treatment and related side effects, say researchers at the University of Cambridge. We believe this tool could significantly reduce the number of unnecessary - and potentially harmful - treatments that patients receive and save the NHS millions every year Vincent Gnanapragasam The tool, PREDICT Prostate, launches today to coincide with publication in the journal PLOS Medicine of the research that underpins it.
