Clinicians can enter key demographic and clinical data from individual patients with locally confined prostate cancer into a new web tool that incorporates results from published studies. The tool provides patients with estimates of the likelihood that their cancer has spread beyond the prostate, as well as predicted outcomes with surgery or RT, which can help guide treatment decisions.
