Background: Patients undergoing radical prostatectomy for localised prostate cancer generally have good long-term survival rates. However, late recurrences can occur and require lifelong follow-up.
Objective: This research aims to investigate different stakeholders' perceptions on the use of mobile health (mHealth) applications for prostate cancer follow-up after radical prostatectomy.
(1) Background: Secondary lymphedema is a chronic, progressive, and debilitating condition with an important impact on quality of life. Lymphedema is a frequently reported complication in oncological surgery but has not been systematically studied in the setting of prostate cancer. (2) Methods: Pubmed/MEDLINE and Embase were systematically searched to identify articles reporting on lower limb or genital lymphedema after primary treatment (surgery of radiation therapy) of the prostate and the pelvic lymph nodes in men with prostate cancer.

Androgen receptor signaling inhibitors (ARSI) have demonstrated a survival benefit in metastatic hormonesensitive and castration-resistant PCa. A similar benefit might be expected in the localized setting.
