IPCOR also collected data on men who received radiotherapy in St Luke’s Radiation Oncology Network.
The IPCOR dataset
The IPCOR dataset is being used to answer several policy and research questions regarding how men are diagnosed with prostate cancer, how they are treated, how those treatments affect them and how they do in the longer term. The second phase of IPCOR has allowed the creation of an infrastructure for both clinical and translational research processes. More information on collaborations and access to data can be seen in Data Access Policies. We aim to use this data to work with doctors, hospitals and policy-makers around Ireland to improve prostate cancer care for men in Ireland.
Governance
A robust governance structure has been implemented for the IPCOR project with direct involvement from clinicians, scientists, epidemiologists, funders and patient representatives who are members of:
- Steering Committee
- Management Committee
- Site Level Committees
- Data Oversight & Access Committee
- LEAP Patient Group
The governance structure ensures that high-quality clinical and patient-reported data is collected and that the project operates according to best practice with respect to ethical considerations and conforms to national and international data protection requirements.
