ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To assess and compare the functional and quality of life results in patients treated with curative intent for localized prostate cancer during 2015 in our hospital.METHOD:
77 patients treated by radical prostatectomy or external radiotherapy with androgen deprivation were prospective enrolled. Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite for Clinical Practice (EPIC-CP) questionnaire at 3-year follow-up and Spanish Questionnaire on Quality of Life in Patients with Prostate Cancer (CAVIPRES-30) at diagnosis and at 3-year follow-up were registered.RESULTS:
68 patients were included, 39 patients treated by radical prostatectomy and 29 received external radiotherapy with androgen deprivation. Among the operated patients, 61.5% were dry and 17.9% use three or more daily pads, compared to 72.4% and 6.8%, respectively, in the radiotherapy group. 48.7% of prostatectomized patients reported very poor or no capacity to have a sufficiently rigid erection, compared to 69% of the radiated group. After surgery, 43.6% considered bad or very bad quality-of-life, compared to 68.9% in the radiotherapy group. In the comparison of the data of the pre- and post-treatment questionnaire can be seen that the patients had a superior perception before the procedure.CONCLUSIONS:
Patients treated by surgery have a better perception of quality-of-life compared to those treated by radiotherapy.RESUMEN
OBJETIVO:
Determinar y comparar los resultados funcionales y de calidad de vida de pacientes con cáncer de próstata tratados con intención curativa durante el año 2015 en nuestro centro.MÉTODO:
Se incluyeron 77 pacientes sometidos a prostatectomía radical (PR) o radioterapia externa con terapia de deprivación androgénica (TDA). Se realizaron el Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite for Clinical Practice (EPIC-CP) tras 3 años de seguimiento y el Cuestionario Español de Calidad de Vida en Pacientes con Cáncer de Próstata (CAVIPRES-30) al diagnóstico y a los 3 años.RESULTADOS:
Se incluyeron 68 pacientes, 39 con PR y 29 con radioterapia más TDA. De los pacientes intervenidos, el 61.5% están secos y el 17.9% usan tres o más compresas, diarias frente al 72.4% y el 6.8%, respectivamente, en el grupo de radioterapia. El 48.7% de los prostatectomizados refieren erecciones muy malas o ninguna, frente al 69% de los radiados. Tras la cirugía, el 43.6% refieren mala o muy mala calidad de vida, frente al 68.9% de los radiados. En la comparación de los datos del cuestionario pre- y postratamiento, los pacientes tenían una percepción superior antes del procedimiento.CONCLUSIONES:
Los pacientes tratados mediante cirugía tienen una mejor percepción de su calidad de vida relacionada con la salud que los radiados.Palavras-chave
