Groups remarks
RAC 4 prospectively collects data from participating men at several points in time: approximately 3 weeks or less before their radical prostatectomy and at 3 months,9 months,2 years,3 years,and finally 4 years post-surgery. Pre-surgery and 3 months post-surgery,a full clinical assessment is done by a trained nurse,whereas patient-reported outcomes (PROs) are collected at other time points. These data are entered into a clinical registry,which was used for this study.
