Patient Reported Sexual Aid Utilization and Efficacy following Radiation Therapy for Localized Prostate Cancer

Among a prospectively followed cohort of 471 men treated with radiation therapy for prostate cancer, we demonstrate that sexual aid use is common at baseline, increases with time, and is helpful to many. However, a substantial number of men reported benefit, but were not currently using aids, and future study is required to optimize post-treatment sexual function.
