Functional results in the treatment of localized prostate cancer. An updated literature review
Revista Internacional de Andrología(2019)
摘要
Prostate cancer is the second most frequently diagnosed cancer in men. The initial diagnosis is made in increasingly younger patients, so it seems to be essential to guarantee optimal functional results. We carried out a systematic search to define the functional results of each of the therapeutic options for localized prostate cancer. Radical prostatectomy generates a greater negative effect on urinary continence and erectile function compared to active surveillance and radiotherapy. Robotic surgery seems to offer better functional results, especially at the level of erectile function. Urinary and bowel symptoms are more pronounced after radiotherapy compared to other options. Patients must be warned of the possible functional results prior to choice of treatment.
