| Article Title: | Prostate cancer: Psychosocial implications and management |
| Abstract: | This review summarizes some of the key psychosocial issues related to prostate cancer, both generally and for an older adult population. It focuses on three main areas: quality-of-life issues, psychosocial implications and management of these psychosocial issues. Broadly, the article presents information on the general background, screening guidelines, common side effects of treatment and current psychiatric and psychological management strategies in prostate cancer. The article addresses the clinical approaches, as well as the complexities that surface when deciding the treatment for patients with prostate cancer. Clinical and future implications are also discussed. © 2008 Future Medicine Ltd. |
