Brief description/objective

The aim of our project is the comparison of guidelines for the primary radiotherapy of prostate cancer among institutions in Switzerland.
The goal is not the leveling of guidelines, but a neutral description of deviations, which may lead to a critical review. A re-evaluation after 6 months is planned to determine whether the feedback obtained leads to any changes and if there is a trend towards harmonisation.
With this project we intend to implement an innovative methodology (diagnostic nodes - Dodes), which has never been implemented in this context before.
