The German Society of Uro-Oncologists ("Deutsche Uro-Onkologen e.V.", d-uo) provides a national registry for urothelial cancer (UroNat) and a national registry for prostate cancer (ProNAT). These registries aim to evaluate the standard of care for urothelial cancer of the bladder and the upper urinary tract as well as prostate cancer by office-based urologists, oncologists and outpatient hospital departments in Germany. This includes, but is not limited to, adherence to guidelines during the treatment of patients with urothelial cancer and prostate cancer. The registries aim to capture and analyse scientifically how patients with these two most frequent urological tumours are treated and how quality assurance is implemented to improve the quality of their outpatient treatment in Germany. Both registries may share basic patient data supplied by the non-interventional, prospective, multicentre VERSUS registry by d-uo, which has been ongoing since 2018 and today includes more than 15,000 patients with different urological malignancies. In the UroNAT and ProNAT registries, additional items and parameters are included to allow for more detailed analyses of outcomes of outpatient treatments in Germany, which have so far been unavailable from the German Cancer Registry. By documenting the current treatment landscape of urothelial and prostate cancer in the outpatient setting, the registries intend to identify potential improvements of patient care and to initiate their implementation into clinical practice. These non-interventional prospective registries only document daily routine diagnostics, clinical courses and procedures.
