“…There is a distinct lack of evidence to inform optimum PSA testing schedules and surveillance guidelines as no randomized controlled trials have been conducted in this area. As a result there is huge variability between the guidelines presented in different countries and by different NHS organisations (Loblaw et al, 2017).…”

To examine the experiences of patients and healthcare professionals of prostate cancer follow-up in primary care and to identify areas where current policy and practice could be improved. Methods: Semi-structured interviews with patients, GPs and oncologists explored experiences of prostate cancer follow-up. Interviews were audio recorded and transcribed verbatim. Data were analysed using thematic analysis. The three participant groups were analysed as individual datasets but the same key themes were evident across the groups. Results: 14 patients, 6 GPs and 5 oncologists were interviewed. Four main themes were identified: Experience of current practice; Knowledge and understanding of prostate cancer follow up; Disparity of processes and pathways; Unclear roles and responsibilities. Conclusions: Findings from this study highlight the variation in the approach to prostate specific antigen monitoring and emphasise the lack of clear policies and practices. The lack of clarity around existing follow up and monitoring processes could cause delays in the diagnosis of recurrence. There is a need for a new and improved pathway for prostate cancer follow up. The pathway should include clear and concise guidance for patients, primary care and secondary care and all relevant parties need to understand what their role is within the pathway.

“…To date, novel therapies and chemotherapy for localized PCa remain investigational and should not be used in routine clinical practice. After reviewing several international guidelines [41,58,163] and considering their practicability and suitability in the locality, the panel decided to adopt the PSA testing schedule proposed by a group of PCa experts in Canada for men who have undergone RP for localized PCa [163]. Statement 2: 'It is recommended to check the PSA level of post-RP patients annually until the end of their life, but physicians should determine at their discretion whether to stop testing in patients who are unlikely to benefit from salvage therapy, e.g.…”

ObjectiveTo formulate consensus statements to facilitate physician management strategies for patients with clinically localized prostate cancer (PCa) in Hong Kong by jointly convening a panel of 12 experts from the two local professional organizations representing PCa specialists, who had previously established consensus statements on the management of metastatic PCa for the locality.MethodsThrough a series of meetings, the panellists discussed their clinical experience and the published evidence regarding various areas of the management of localized PCa, then drafted consensus statements. At the final meeting, each drafted statement was voted on by every panellist based on its practicability of recommendation in the locality.ResultsA total of 76 consensus statements were ultimately accepted and established by panel voting.ConclusionDerived from the recent evidence and major overseas guidelines, along with local clinical experience and practicability, the consensus statements were aimed to serve as a practical reference for physicians in Hong Kong for the management of localized PCa.
