Short description: Scientific research group

The Scandinavian Prostate Cancer Group (SPCG) is a group of scientific researchers who have conducted a series of clinical trials of treatments for prostate cancer.[1][2] The group was founded in 1981 and the first study, SPCG-1, began in 1984.[1]

Clinical trials

The studies conducted by the SPCG include the following:[1][2][3]

The SPCG-6 study was also known as Trial 25 of the Early Prostate Cancer (EPC) clinical trial programme.[35][18][19][20][21]

Other work

The SPCG also published a 1997 literature review on combined androgen blockade for advanced prostate cancer.[36]
