A comparison of the quality of life of patients with metastatic prostate cancer who received or did not receive hormonal therapy

H W Herr et al. Cancer. .

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.
