Article Synopsis
- Prostate cancer is a prevalent male cancer, projected to reach 1.7 million new cases and 499,000 deaths by 2030, which significantly impacts patients’ physical and mental well-being as well as their quality of life (QoL).
- A study involving 406 patients with Organ Confined Prostate Cancer (OCPC) examined how different treatments, like radical prostatectomy, external radiotherapy, and brachytherapy, affect QoL.
- The findings show that OCPC treatments do impact QoL, with radical prostatectomy and brachytherapy being less detrimental compared to external radiotherapy, while issues like urinary incontinence notably impair QoL, reinforcing the usefulness of the SF 36 questionnaire for assessing treatment impacts.
