Cancer Survivor, Prostate Carcinoma
Conditions
Brief summary
This clinical trial studies how well a long-term follow-up works in patients with prostate cancer after surgery. Long-term follow-up data may serve as a resource to help ask clinical questions, describe health-related quality of life and long-term complications related, and facilitate future studies focusing on interventions to improve health status and health-related quality of life in prostate cancer survivors.
Detailed description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To provide comprehensive long-term follow-up care to prostate cancer survivors at the City of Hope who underwent definitive surgical therapy. II. To use the information obtained from follow-up of prostate cancer survivors who underwent definitive surgical therapy to serve as a resource that will help answer clinical questions, generate and test hypotheses, describe the incidence of long-term complications, and facilitate future studies focusing on interventions for long-term complications of prostate cancer and its therapy. III. To use the information gained from follow-up of prostate cancer survivors who underwent definitive surgical therapy to describe health-related quality of life (HRQL) concerns and to serve as a resource to facilitate future studies focusing on interventions to improve health status and HRQL in prostate cancer survivors. OUTLINE: Patients undergo long-term follow-up and receive a written survivorship care plan including comprehensive health evaluation and health education beginning 1 year post surgery.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| HRQL assessed using Sexual Health Inventory for Men | Up to 10 years | Linear mixed effects models can be used to estimate long-term trends and examine the effects of baseline and concomitant factors on these trends. |
| Incidence rates of the study end-points | Up to 10 years | Incidence rates of the study end-points that may be associated with original diagnosis or treatment received, and delineation of temporal changes in serial measurements and their relationship to time-invariant characteristics such as original diagnosis, race, and education and time-varying characteristics such as age and body mass index will be estimated. Incidence rates may be compared with national standards adjusted for key demographic variables and between patient subgroups. |
| HRQL assessed using Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite | Up to 10 years | Linear mixed effects models can be used to estimate long-term trends and examine the effects of baseline and concomitant factors on these trends. |
