Description

The PCOR-ACT is the ACT branch of the PCOR-ANZ research project.  The aim of the PCOR-ANZ is to improve the quality of care provided to men with prostate cancer. All men diagnosed with and/or treated for prostate cancer in the ACT who are eligible to take part in the registry are invited to participate.  Information from the registry will be used to monitor the care provided to men with prostate cancer including type(s) of treatment, related complication(s), and both short- and longer-term outcomes of care. 

This information will be used to help identify whether any gaps exist in the service provision for men with prostate cancer.
