Prediction of pathological stage at radical prostatectomy: do commonly used prostate cancer nomograms apply to men from Far North Queensland?
Abstract
Clinical nomograms are routinely used by urologists to predict pathological and clinical outcomes. Commonly used prostate cancer nomograms include Partin s tables and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Centre (MSKCC) nomograms which were developed in highâvolume centres in the United States. We aimed to assess whether these tools are valid for prostate cancer patients in Far North Queensland.
