Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Oncology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • The Danish Prostate Cancer Database (DAPROCAdata) was established in February 2010 to prospectively collect data on prostate cancer patients nationwide.
  • Its primary goal is to enhance prostate cancer care quality through systematic data collection for monitoring, improvement, and research.

Approach:

  • Includes all Danish patients with histologically verified prostate cancer.
  • Collects clinical data via nationwide health registry linkage and physician online registration.
  • Captures key variables: Gleason scores, staging, PSA, and treatments (surveillance, surgery, radiotherapy, endocrine/chemotherapy).

Key Points:

  • As of April 2015, DAPROCAdata contained 22,332 prostate cancer cases.
  • Routine collection of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) includes quality-of-life and lifestyle factors.
  • PROM data completeness was 26% for newly diagnosed patients in 2014, highlighting an area for improvement.

Conclusions:

  • DAPROCAdata is a comprehensive national clinical database for prostate cancer.
  • Continuous efforts are prioritized to improve data collection, validity, and completeness.
