Abstract

Purpose Cancer of the prostate (CAP) is one of the most common malignancies affecting North American men with about 215,000 new cases and 35,800 CAP related deaths annually. The most prevalent intervention for localized CAP is radical prostatectomy (RP) with 10-year survival rates approaching 90%. Studies of men in post-RP recovery indicate that 44% to 75% experience sexual dysfunction and more than 60% experience distress in reaction to sexual dysfunction problems. These findings are increasingly significant as prostate specific antigen testing continues to increase CAP detection rates, resulting in more and younger post-RP patients confronting sexual dysfunction. Materials and methods A MEDLINE database search was performed for articles published from 1966 to September 2004. Results Despite effectiveness 30% to 50% of patients who turn to sexually assistive aids after RP discontinue use within a year. This suggests that the achievement of physical responsiveness to an aid is necessary but it is not a sufficient factor in long-term sexual adaptation. Current research exploring this gap between effectiveness and ongoing use supports a broader perspective of sexual dysfunction emphasizing several factors, including perceptions of inadequacy, anxieties in regard to performance and depression in each member of the couple, overly enthusiastic expectations, partner physical/emotional readiness to resume active sex, the meaning to the couple of using a sexual aid and the quality of…

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
