Real-world data on prostate cancer : the VERSUS trial by d-uo

Thieme. All rights reserved..

At the beginning of 2017, the German Society of Uro-Oncologists (d-uo) had the idea of designing a documentation platform that would enable d-uo members to report cancer cases to the cancer registry and transfer data to d-uo's own database - without a double effort. The cancer registry reimburses the first notification of a tumour with €18. As the only provider, d-uo reimburses its members for the documentation effort associated with the additional notification to d-uo with a further €18. In addition to the basic oncological data set, further parameters were defined by d-uo. This data is collected, evaluated and interpreted as part of the VERSUS study. At the end of 2022, 14,834 patients with a newly diagnosed urological tumour were included in the VERSUS study. Almost two thirds of all patients had prostate cancer. About half of all patients with prostate cancer were diagnosed as part of an early detection measure. These patients then also had more favourable tumour stages. Overall, almost every eighth patient already had metastases at the time of initial diagnosis. Data from the VERSUS study are available for 2,167 operations on prostate cancer with tumour category T2 or T3. There were 1,360 operations in patients with a T2 tumour (62.8%) and 807 operations in patients with T3 tumours (37.2%). A positive margin was present in 25.5% of all operated-on patients. In relation to tumour categories T2 and T3, the proportion of a positive resection margin was 14.3% and 44.2%, respectively. The VERSUS study will continue to provide answers to many questions from the uro-oncological field with reference to the "real world" situation in Germany.
