Scandinavian Prostate Cancer Group
Appearance
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
[edit]The studies conducted by the SPCG include the following:[1][2][3]
- SPCG-1 – estramustine phosphate versus diethylstilbestrol for high-risk advanced prostate cancer[1][4][5]
- SPCG-2 – orchiectomy plus cyproterone acetate versus placebo for metastatic prostate cancer[6][7]
- SPCG-3 – cancelled[1]
- SPCG-4 – radical prostatectomy versus watchful waiting for localized prostate cancer[1][8][9][10][11]
- SPCG-5 – polyestradiol phosphate versus triptorelin or orchiectomy plus flutamide for advanced prostate cancer[1][12][13][14][15][16][17]
- SPCG-6 – bicalutamide monotherapy versus standard care (watchful waiting) for localized prostate cancer[1][18][19][20][21][22]
- SPCG-7 – endocrine therapy with versus without radiotherapy for locally advanced or aggressive localized prostate cancer[23][24][25]
- SPCG-8 – cancelled[1]
- SPCG-9 – cancelled[1]
- SPCG-10 – cancelled[1][26]
- SPCG-11 (Zometa European Study [ZEUS]) – zoledronic acid with standard prostate cancer therapy versus standard prostate cancer therapy alone for prevention of bone metastases in high-risk localized prostate cancer[3][27][28][29]
- SPCG-12 – docetaxel versus surveillance after radical prostatectomy without androgen deprivation therapy for high-risk localized prostate cancer[3][30][31]
- SPCG-13 – docetaxel versus surveillance after radical prostatectomy with androgen deprivation therapy for high-risk localized prostate cancer[3][32]
- SPCG-14 – docetaxel versus bicalutamide for prostate-specific antigen recurrence after radical prostatectomy or radiotherapy for localized prostate cancer[3][33]
- SPCG-15 – radical prostatectomy versus radiotherapy plus androgen deprivation therapy for locally advanced prostate cancer[3][34]
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
[edit]The SPCG also published a 1997 literature review on combined androgen blockade for advanced prostate cancer.[36]

Multiple efforts have been attempted to adequately power randomized trials to compare mortality outcomes between RP and RT, although the vast majority have failed to accrue,3–6 including proposed collaborations in ACOSOG SPIRIT, SPCG-10, MRC PR06, and SWOG8890.
