Trajectories of Quality of Life, Life Satisfaction and Psychological Adjustment after Prostate Cancer

ConclusionsDistinct trajectories exist for medium to long term quality of life, life satisfaction and psychological adjustment after prostate cancer; with age and socioeconomic deprivation playing a differential role in men's survivorship profile and the impact of functional status on outcomes increasing over time. These results reinforce the need for an appraisal of men's life course in addition to treatment side effects when planning survivorship care after cancer.
