Abstract
Objective. To develop new directions in the assessment of quality of life (QL) for the implementation of adequate therapeutic, corrective, and rehabilitative measures after radical prostatectomy (RPE).
Subjects and methods. 56 patients with localized and locally advanced prostate cancer (PC) who underwent different RPE modes in 2001 to 2006 were examined. The patients' functional status was evaluated, by analyzing the parameters of their objective, subjective, psychophysiological, and social status.
Results. There were correlations between the patients' psychological, subjective, social, and objective statuses and the frequent complications of RPE, such as urinary incontinence and erectile dysfunction. For adequate QL assessment, the authors developed a score rating system for the above statuses.
Conclusion. Comprehensive examination using the proposed procedure makes it possible to reveal correlations between patients' different statuses in many QL aspects and to break the vicious circle of the detected abnormality.
