Check MyPSA

The MyPSA app is developed by researchers from the department of Urology, Erasmus Medical Center, Rotterdam, the Netherlands and Ydeal.net. The MyPSA app is designed for patients on active surveillance who wish to be actively involved in their disease process. It provides men with the opportunity to monitor their prostate specific antigen (PSA), manage their appointments, and amongst others, find further information about prostate cancer. The researchers from the department of Urology, Erasmus MC have gained tremendous knowledge on active surveillance for low-risk prostate cancer, by initiating the Prostate cancer Research International Active Surveillance study (PRIAS) in 2006. PRIAS is an international, multi-center, web-based, observational study which includes over 6,500 patients from 25 countries. At www.prias-project.org more information can be found on the study protocol and features for medical specialists. Published results from the PRIAS study have led to the acceptance of active surveillance as an effective and safe treatment strategy for men with low-risk, localized prostate cancer and the inclusion of this strategy in national and international guidelines on the treatment of prostate cancer.

At www.prias-project.org more information can be found on the study protocol and features for medical specialists. This app is, however, designed for patients on active surveillance who wish to be actively involved in their disease process. It provides men with the opportunity to monitor their prostate specific antigen, manage their appointments, and amongst others, find further information about prostate cancer. Men interested in using the app can download it and engage, being either a PRIAS participant or a man following active surveillance outside the PRIAS study.

Men on active surveillance and interested in using the app can download it and engage! Men who decide to start using the app and run into difficulties or have suggestions for improvements are welcome to share their ideas at l.venderbos@erasmusmc.nl or info@prias.me.
