PCOR-ANZ Annual Report 2024: Prostate Cancer Across Australia and New Zealand

If you don't measure something, it's hard to manage it. That's the idea behind PCOR-ANZ, one of the largest prostate cancer registries in the world. With data on almost 175,000 men across Australia and New Zealand, it tracks how prostate cancer is diagnosed, treated and lived with, so care keeps getting better for the men who need it.

Who it’s for

HEALTH PRACTITIONERS

To benchmark care against national patterns and identify where practice can improve.

GOVERNMENT & POLICY MAKERS

To identify gaps in timely and equitable care across states, and provide targeted investment and funding to close those gaps.

RESEARCHERS & ACADEMICS

To access one of the world's largest bi-national prostate cancer datasets.

MEN WITH LIVED EXPERIENCE & THEIR FAMILIES

To understand what treatment could mean for their own experience, from diagnosis through to recovery.

85%

of men with low-risk prostate cancer were managed with Active Surveillance (close monitoring) in 2022, up from 66% in 2015

73%

of men received a pre-biopsy MRI in 2022, up from just 5.6% in 2015
