The lab is evaluating findings from the first randomised study of robotic and open prostatectomy in a multi-disciplinary collaborative study with support from colleagues of the Northern Section of the Urological Society of Australia and New Zealand to:
- Examine standard clinical and oncological parameters in both groups
- Evaluate comprehensively Quality of Life in both arms
- Compare economic costs to patients and health service
- Determine life-expectancy profiles for patients prospectively
- Relate actual results to prognostic profiling with prostatic fluid
