Description
Noa Gordon and eight co-authors published this cohort profile in 2024. It describes a national registry that tracked men with prostate cancer across Ireland. The registry was set up in 2015 to follow each man's path from diagnosis through treatment, so care could be improved.
From 2016 to 2020, the registry enrolled 6,816 newly diagnosed men at sixteen hospitals, both public and private. Staff recorded full clinical details, and 873 men also filled in surveys about their own outcomes. Early findings show that many cancers were caught by chance blood tests while still at an early stage. The team invites researchers worldwide to use the data. A next phase will add a quality registry and a store of tissue samples.
