ABSTRACT:

Background

Monitoring and evaluation of prostate cancer (PCa) screening is key to ensure that the programme achieves the desired objectives.

We describe the methodology used to identify the PCa screening KPIs and the outcome of this process within the scope of the EU-funded PRostate cancer Awareness and Initiative for Screening in the EU (PRAISE-U) project. Feasibility of implementing these KPIs will be evaluated in the five pilots set up at multiple sites in the EU (Spain-2 sites, Poland, Ireland, Lithuania).
