Men with early-stage prostate cancer have multiple options that have similar oncologic efficacy but vary in terms of their impact on quality of life. In low-risk cancer, active surveillance is the option that best preserves patients’ sexual function, but it is unknown if patient preference affects treatment selection. Our objectives were to identify patient characteristics associated with a strong preference to preserve sexual function and to determine whether patient preference and baseline sexual function level are associated with receipt of active surveillance in low-risk cancer.

与强烈偏好保持性功能和接受主动监测相关的前列腺癌患者特征

患有早期前列腺癌的男性有多种选择，这些选择具有相似的肿瘤疗效，但对生活质量的影响各不相同。在低风险癌症中，主动监测是最能保护患者性功能的选择，但患者偏好是否会影响治疗选择尚不清楚。我们的目标是确定与强烈偏好保持性功能相关的患者特征，并确定患者偏好和基线性功能水平是否与接受低风险癌症的主动监测相关。
