Most patients will survive prostate cancer but up to 70% report significant adverse impacts on quality of life post-surgery.
After surgery, a team is needed to care for them: a GP, a physiotherapist to manage urinary incontinence, a specialist to attend to the prevention of erectile dysfunction and a psychologist to manage issues that may arise.
