The Impact

Given the evidence of high 5- and 10-year survivorship rates for localized prostate cancer, the effect of treatment on symptom-related quality of life is an important consideration for men choosing among available treatment options. Two PCORI-funded studies published in the March 21, 2017 issue of JAMA compare the impact of current treatments on symptom-related quality of life for men with localized prostate cancer. Quality of life scores refer to symptoms, how much men were bothered by symptoms, or a combination of the two. The studies looked at observed outcomes from a combined total of 3,600 men for periods of two and three years following treatment. This evidence offers information that can help patients make treatment decisions.
