CEASAR data has facilitated the development of an online prostate cancer treatment decision-making tool predicting quality of life outcomes for active surveillance, external beam radiation therapy, and radical prostatectomy at 1-year, 3-years, 5-years, and 10-years post-treatment1.
In this tool, patients will input their age, race, PSA, Gleason score, and rate their current health status before completing a series of questions regarding their current bowel, hormonal, sexual, and urinary function.
Quality of life outcomes predictions are then made for the patient for active surveillance, external beam radiation therapy, and radical prostatectomy in five domains:
- Bowel function
- Hormonal function
- Sexual function
- Urinary incontinence
- Urinary irritation
The current beta version of this tool predicting quality of life outcomes through 10-years post-treatment is available at: https://statez.shinyapps.io/PCDSPred2/
