| Abstract: | Background and Methods. The quality of life in patients who elected to receive hormonal therapy for newly diagnosed asymptomatic metastatic prostate cancer was compared with a comparable group of patients who chose to defer immediate intervention. Results and Conclusions. The premise that active therapy, despite its side effects, would improve or maintain the psychosocial quality of life was not substantiated, and the no‐therapy group had better physical and sexual functioning.
