Functional Outcomes After Localized Prostate Cancer Treatment.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Adverse outcomes associated with treatments for localized prostate cancer remain unclear.

Objective

To compare rates of adverse functional outcomes between specific treatments for localized prostate cancer.

Design, setting, and participants

An observational cohort study using data from 5 US Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program registries. Participants were treated for localized prostate cancer between 2011 and 2012. At baseline, 1877 had favorable-prognosis prostate cancer (defined as cT1-cT2bN0M0, prostate-specific antigen level <20 ng/mL, and grade group 1-2) and 568 had unfavorable-prognosis prostate cancer (defined as cT2cN0M0, prostate-specific antigen level of 20-50 ng/mL, or grade group 3-5). Follow-up data were collected by questionna
