Objective: Prostate cancer care is a complex challenge: besides medical challenges, individual and social burdens of the disease are also significant. The aim of our study is to give recommendations for different professional organizations and decision-makers to improve expectancy and quality of life of men suffering from prostate cancer.
Method: The analysis is based on four sources, which includes a literature review, the presentation of relevant public Hungarian data, in-depth expert interviews, interviews and round-table discussions of preliminary results.
Result: It is founded that a significant progress has been made in some areas in recent years, but further steps are needed to ensure a modern, standard, quality patient care that is accessible to all.
Conclusion: Our recommendations are in accordance with national and international guidelines and with Whitepaper on Prostate Cancer by European Association of Urology. We believe that this work could increase quality of care in prostate cancer.
