Goals of Sexual Function in Prostate Cancer Survivors and Their Partners After Cancer Treatment
Summary
RATIONALE: Gathering information about survivors of prostate cancer and their partners may help doctors learn more about the goals for sexual functioning after cancer treatment. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying the goals of sexual functioning in prostate cancer survivors and their partners after cancer treatment.
Description
Detailed DescriptionOBJECTIVES:
I. To collect data on the goals of sexual functioning among prostate cancer survivors and their partners following cancer treatment in order to identify specific components of interventions for future grant submissions on the psychosexual needs of prostate cancer survivors.
OUTLINE:
Patients and their partners complete surveys. Sexual function of men is assessed by the International Index of Erectile Function; sexual function of women is assessed by the Female Sexual Function Index.

Medical and Biotech [MESH] Definitions
Prostate-specific Antigen
A glycoprotein that is a kallikrein-like serine proteinase and an esterase, produced by epithelial cells of both normal and malignant prostate tissue. It is an important marker for the diagnosis of prostate cancer.
Fenretinide
A synthetic retinoid that is used orally as a chemopreventive against prostate cancer and in women at risk of developing contralateral breast cancer. It is also effective as an antineoplastic agent.
Ultrasound, High-intensity Focused, Transrectal
Tissue ablation of the PROSTATE performed by ultrasound from a transducer placed in the RECTUM. The procedure is used to treat prostate cancer (PROSTATIC NEOPLASMS) and benign prostatic hypertrophy (PROSTATIC HYPERPLASIA).
Prostatic Secretory Proteins
Proteins secreted by the prostate gland. The major secretory proteins from the human prostate gland include PROSTATE-SPECIFIC ANTIGEN, prostate-specific acid phosphatase, prostate-specific membrane antigen, and prostate-specific protein-94.
Prostatic Neoplasms
Tumors or cancer of the PROSTATE.
