Summary

The Asian Prostate Cancer (A-CaP) Study is a new Asia-wide initiative launching in 2016. It will collect data on prostate cancer patients across Asia to identify common research themes and risk factors.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Epidemiology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Prostate cancer research in Asia has historically been fragmented, with individual country efforts.
  • The need for a comprehensive, Asia-wide study to understand prostate cancer epidemiology was identified.
  • Previous single-country studies in Japan and Korea laid groundwork for a larger initiative.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish the first Asia-wide prostate cancer patient registry and prognosis investigation.
  • To identify common research themes and compare background factors among newly diagnosed prostate cancer patients across Asian countries.
  • To foster collaboration and data sharing among Asian nations for prostate cancer research.

Main Methods:

  • Initiation of patient registration for newly diagnosed prostate cancer in participating Asian countries/regions starting in 2016.

  • Conducting prognosis investigations alongside patient registration.
  • Establishing a collaborative network through a memorandum of understanding signed by all participating countries/regions.

    • Main Results:

    • The Asian Prostate Cancer (A-CaP) Study was formally launched with an inaugural Board Meeting and Symposium in December 2015.
    • Representatives from participating countries and international institutions (USA, Australia) shared insights on database compilation and research.
    • A memorandum of understanding was signed, formalizing registration and collaboration for the A-CaP Study.

    Conclusions:

    • The A-CaP Study represents a significant step towards a unified approach to prostate cancer research in Asia.
    • The study aims to provide valuable data for understanding and potentially mitigating prostate cancer burden across the continent.
    • International collaboration and shared expertise are crucial for the success of large-scale epidemiological studies.
