Summary

This international cross-sectional study seeks to evaluate global disparities in prostate cancer management by conducting a thorough comparison of key elements across countries categorized as low-income, lower-middle-income, upper-middle-income, and high-income. The primary question it addresses is: Are the standards of care for prostate cancer uniformly applied across different geographic regions worldwide? To achieve this, we will recruit physicians specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer from a diverse array of countries within these income classifications. Participants will complete a 17-question online survey.
