Men's experiences of the impact of penile cancer surgery on their lives: A qualitative study.

Objective: Surgery is the primary treatment for invasive penile cancer (PC). Postoperative changes in genital anatomy and function may lead to altered body and self-image, compromised sexual function and subsequent psychological problems.

Health-Related Quality of Life, Self-esteem and Sexual Functioning Among Patients Operated for Penile Cancer - A Cross-sectional Study.

Background: Penile cancer surgery affects physical, psychological, and sexual well-being, but the patient- and treatment-related factors predisposing to worse health-related quality of life (HRQoL) have not been well characterized.

Aim: We report treatment-related HRQoL changes among penile cancer survivors compared to the general population and the specific deficits that have the most profound effect, and we identify patient-related factors that predispose to a worse perceived HRQoL.

Methods: Patients (n = 107) who underwent operations for invasive penile cancer in two Finnish university hospitals from 2009 to 2019 were sent the Patient Reported Outcomes (PROs) questionnaire designed to measure HRQoL, self-esteem, overall sexual functioning, erections, and change in sexual function.

Design: Survey with longitudinal descriptive and comparative elements.

The health-related quality of life of patients with prostate cancer and their spouses before treatment compared with the general population.

Aims: To describe the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of patients with prostate cancer and their spouses in comparison with the Finnish general population, using the RAND 36-Item Health Survey. An additional purpose was to describe the associations between the background variables of the participants and their HRQOL.

Background: The HRQOL of patients with prostate cancer and especially their spouses at the time of diagnosis is not well known.
