Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. Construction of a Dutch multicenter prospective biorepository for validation of biomarker and imaging products. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. Provision of a Medical Technology Assessment (MTA) of newly developed biomarkers, contrast enhanced ultrasound and multimodality MRI in early and advanced PCa for diagnosis and therapeutic decision making as compared to current standard diagnostic techniques. 2. Initiation of a Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS) that optimizes clinical decision making by integrating the complex information from biomarkers and (molecular) imaging, next to individual clinical data in the clinical phase of the disease. | — |
