Abstract

  • Many prostate cancer survivors face ongoing decrements in health-related quality of life (HRQoL)
  • The long-term trajectories of men with prostate cancer are not well described
  • To our knowledge, this is the first substantive prospective study to track men's HRQoL, life satisfaction and symptom burden ten years from diagnosis
  • Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), multiple comorbidities, younger age and socioeconomic disadvantage are risk indicators for poorer long-term HRQoL after prostate cancer.
  • Risk indicators need to be incorporated into survivorship care planning to facilitate personalised care for men most at risk of poorer physical and mental health.
