About this study

Official title: A Prospective Quality of Life Study in Men With Clinically Localized Prostate Carcinoma Treated With Different Treatment Modalities

to prospectively assess the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) changes during the first year after different treatment modalities for localized prostate cancer.

Read the detailed description

Quality of life is of great concern to patients considering treatment options for prostate cancer. Patients with clinically localized prostate cancer treated with active surveillance, radical prostatectomy, external radiotherapy and high intensity focused ultrasound were included. All men completed the questionnaires of Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Prostate (FACT-P) (version 4), International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) and International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) before treatment and 1, 3, 6, 12 months after treatment.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Health-related quality of life changes over time (time frame: 12 months after treatment). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
