| Description | Professional communication among physicians is currently of growing importance, namely in fields that stand in the centre of interest of two or more medical disciplines. It holds also for cancer diagnoses that are associated with urogenital system. Using advanced stages of prostate cancer as example, we introduce here technological and operational background of newly initiated project UJO (Urology Joins Oncology). The project strives to facilitate collaboration between urologists and oncologists using modern ICTs. Non-interventional clinical registry is based on fully parametric database equipped by functional on-line system, centralized data management and electronic support of communication. The registry is aimed to follow diagnostics and therapy of HRPC. Optimized data set allows to assess the risk and prognostic factors as well as reference monitoring of therapeutic outcomes. Project contributes to the implementation of electronic patient documentation in this field. |
