Prostate Cancer Outcomes Study:

PCOS Data Collection
A survey questionnaire was sent to men at 6, 12, 24, and
60 months after the initial diagnosis. The survey was designed
to focus on quality-of-life issues -- urinary, sexual, and bowel
dysfunctions -- known to be the most relevant to men with prostate
cancer.
A unique aspect of the Prostate Cancer Outcomes Study (PCOS) data collection was the extensive
effort made to obtain information from medical records of the
patients not routinely collected by SEER. The additional information included specific
diagnostic procedures, PSA values, clinical stage and grade
of tumor, details of treatments including specific hormonal
therapies, and acute complications of therapies.
