Background: The effect of radiotherapy (RT) for second primary malignancies (SPMs) among prostate cancer survivors is controversial. Methods: Applying logistic regression, competing risk analysis and propensity score matching method, this study analyzed clinical data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results program to compare the risk for SPMs between patients receiving RT and non-RT. Results: In this study, prostate cancer patients treated with RT developed more SPMs in the anus, bladder, rectum, liver, lung and bronchus and lymphoma than non-RT groups. Conclusion: More intensive surveillance should be adopted for these cancers among prostate cancer survivors.

AbstractThe purpose of the study was to explore the role of religion in meaning making and coping among a group of black patients receiving some form of prostate cancer treatment at a public hospital in Limpopo Province, South Africa. A sample of 20 prostate cancer survivors, with ages ranging from 67 to 85 years (meanage = 76yrs; SD = 5.3) selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through in-depth, semi-structured individual interviews and analysed using interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA). The findings demonstrated that religion is an important factor in meaning making and coping by prostate cancer survivors. The findings suggest that healthcare practitioners need to pay close attention to the meanings that cancer patients assign to their illness to provide the appropriate care and support.
