South Australian Prostate Cancer Clinical Outcomes Collaborative (SA-PCOCC) at SALHN
The South Australian Prostate Cancer Clinical Outcomes Collaborative (SA-PCOCC) was established in 1998 as an ongoing venture initially managed at the Repatriation General Hospital, but now at Flinders Medical Centre. The flagship of this collaborative is a database tracking men with prostate cancer in South Australia.
The database follows men with prostate cancer treated at the major metropolitan hospitals: the Royal Adelaide Hospital, The Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Flinders Medical Centre, Noarlunga Hospital, Lyell McEwin and collaborating private institutions and clinicians.
As part of a bi-national collaboration, SA-PCCOC are also contributors to the Prostate Cancer Outcomes Registry –Australia and New Zealand (PCOR-ANZ) which is funded from the Movember Foundation.
