Improving evidence based care for locally advanced prostate cancer

如果我们希望提高晚期前列腺癌患者的生存率，就迫切需要改善对他们的护理。令人信服的新证据表明，我们需要改变目前的做法，向高风险男性提供放疗——但临床医生会改变他们的做法吗？我们将在9家医院的网络中开发和测试改变实践的方法。该研究将为如何将推荐的护理纳入实践以改善前列腺癌患者的预后提供关键证据。

There is an urgent need to improve care for men with advanced prostate cancer if we wish to improve their survival. Compelling new evidence suggests we need to alter current practice by offering radiotherapy to high risk men – but will clinicians change their practice? We will develop and test ways to change practice within a network of 9 hopsitals. The study will provide crucial evidence about how to embed the recommended care into practice to improve outcomes for men with prostate cancer.
