Service: Better diagnosis of prostate cancer

Responsible organisation: Odense Universitetshospital (Local Government)

Prostate cancer is often diagnosed at such an early stage that the cancer has not yet spread from the prostate. However, the vast majority of patients still have their prostate removed, which causes discomforts or complications. The project will develop a solution that can assess the risk of the cancer spreading, ensuring the patient does not undergo unnecessary surgery. Based on data from previous disease patterns, the algorithm will assess the risk of the cancer spreading from the prostate. The result will support the medical assessment of which patients need surgery to avoid the formation of metastases and which patients can be exempted from surgical treatment.
