| description | This study analyzes the satisfaction of the patients with radical prostatectomy according
to the signs and symptoms included in the EORTC QLQ – C30 and EORTC QLQ – PR25
questionnaires, including their relation with the health state that influences the pre and
postoperative life quality.
Fifty patients with prostate cancer in a localized stage were studied and analyzed in a prospective
manner and for a period of 12 months, before and 6 months after the radical prostatectomy. In
choosing the patients, the common denominator was the use of the same postoperative plan and
the lack of postoperative complications, as well as the lack of chronic diseases.
Erectile dysfunction, urine incontinence were quite frequent after radical prostatectomy, while the
urinary obstruction and the weak urinary stream were less frequent. In this regard, people noticed
a significant decrease of life quality.
Although the study addressed a small group of patients, the results are similar to those belonging
to other clinical studies. Even if the aspect of life quality is more rarely taken into account, the
questionnaires regarding the life quality are specific, useful and quite cheap in evaluating different
therapies. |
