Mental well-being in prostate cancer: A multi-institutional prospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To investigate the patient, treatment and oncological prognostic factors for multiple mental well-being outcomes in prostate cancer.

Patient and methods

The MIND-P study was a multi-institutional prospective cohort study recruiting newly diagnosed prostate cancer patients for 12 months post-diagnosis across eight centres. Periodic data collection evaluated mental, physical and social well-being measures incorporating five mental well-being outcomes selected based on prior research as important measures in patients with prostate cancer. This included depression, anxiety, fear of recurrence, body image, and masculinity. Treatment, patient, and oncological prognostic factors for developing significant well-being symptoms were evaluated along with symptom trajectories.
