Abstract :
In the general framework of the European ICT Project CHIC, focused on the building of a common repository for data and models in the field of human cancer, we are collecting clinical, serological and pathological data about prostate cancer for prognostic and growth modeling purposes. Two ongoing retrospective observational studies, named EUREKA-1 and EUREKA-2, focused on patients treated respectively by Radical Prostatectomy (RP) or Radical Radiotherapy (RRT) as primary treatment are presented.
