Four main themes were identified: Experience of current practice; Knowledge and understanding of prostate cancer follow up; Disparity of processes and pathways; Unclear roles and responsibilities. The aim of this study is to explore the experiences of patients, oncologists and GPs of prostate cancer follow-up and identify any problems in the existing system and to determine how current pathways may be improved. Four themes were derived from the data: i) Experience of current practice; ii) knowledge and understanding of prostate cancer follow up; iii) disparity of processes and pathways; and iv) unclear roles and responsibilities ( Figure 1 ). This qualitative study conducted with patients, GPs and oncologists has highlighted problems within the current prostate cancer follow up system that suggests that some men are not being monitored safely.	./cache/cord-339267-p3djwg7v.txt	./txt/cord-339267-p3djwg7v.txt
