Epidemiological description and trajectories of patients with prostate cancer in Denmark: an observational study of 7448 patients.

ABSTRACT: Identification of patients at high risk of aggressive prostate cancer is a major clinical challenge. With the view of developing artificial intelligence-based methods for identification of these patients, we are constructing a comprehensive clinical database including 7448 prostate cancer (PCa) Danish patients.
