Abstract

Abstract  in English, French

In 2010 and during the following decade, two guidelines were published for the management of prostate cancer in West Africa. A key recommendation of the guidelines was the need for the development of a Clinical Audit Tool which should help surgeons and institutions to identify the gaps between the recommended standards and current practice. In this paper, a Clinical Audit Tool, WAPCAT, was developed to facilitate and implement the audit process for the management of Prostate cancer in a West African healthcare institution.
