5-YEAR URINARY AND SEXUAL OUTCOMES AFTER RADICAL PROSTATECTOMY: RESULTS FROM THE PROSTATE CANCER OUTCOMES STUDY

Abstract

Urinary and sexual dysfunction were common 5 years following radical prostatectomy in this large, community based cohort of prostate cancer survivors. While a small minority of subjects experienced changes in urinary or sexual function between years 2 and 5 after prostatectomy, functional outcomes remained relatively stable in the majority of participants.
