Quality indicator “Dashboard” for urologists. Definition of indicators (per treatment centre/county council/region) for new diagnoses during the reporting period: 1. Proportion of men with newly diagnosed prostate cancer who have a named contact nurse; 2. Proportion of men seen within a specialist clinic for suspected prostate cancer within 14 days of initial referral; 3. Proportion of men receiving notification of cancer diagnosis within 11 days of their prostate biopsy; 4. Proportion of men with a time interval between referral and initiation of curative primary treatment less than 61 days (radical prostatectomy, RP), 58 days (radiotherapy (RT) without neoadjuvant hormone therapy) or 50 days (neoadjuvant hormone therapy with RT) for men with high-risk cancer; 5. Proportion of men up to 80 years of age with primarily metastatic disease (M1), whose case was discussed at a multidisciplinary conference (MDC). The definition of a multidisciplinary conference in the National Prostate Cancer Register (NPCR) is that both a urologist and an oncologist participate; 6. Proportion of men up to 80 years with high-risk cancer without distant metastases, whose case was discussed at MDC. High-risk cancer is divided into localized high-risk cancer or locally advanced cancer; 7. Proportion of people who underwent surgery with a low- or intermediate-risk tumour who underwent intra/interfascial nerve-sparing resection; 8. Proportion of prostatectomy specimens with negative resection margins at pT2.; 9. Proportion of men who underwent prostatectomy who completed a baseline patient-reported outcome survey; 10. Non-severe urinary incontinence 12 months after radical prostatectomy.
