In this study, we compared sexual function in men who received ADT plus external beam radiation treatment (EBRT) to EBRT alone and identified patient-level predictors of sexual function recovery. METHODS: We prospectively enrolled a population-based cohort of men who underwent EBRT with and without ADT for intermediate- or high-risk localized prostate cancer as part of the Comparative Effectiveness Analysis of Surgery and Radiation study. Sexual function was assessed longitudinally out to 5 years using the validated Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite survey. Sexual and hormone domain scores range from 0 (worst) to 100 (best) points. Men with erections sufficient for intercourse at baseline were selected for inclusion. Patients still receiving ADT at 5 years were excluded from analysis. RESULTS: A total of 167 patients were included. Of these, 73 underwent EBRT alone and 94 received ADT plus EBRT (51 with intermediate-risk and 43 with high-risk disease). Baseline sexual function was similar between groups (p=0.218). Compared to EBRT alone, ADT in high-risk disease was associated with worse sexual function at 3 years (Effect: -20.3 points, CI -31.8, -8.8, p<0.001) but not at 5 years (Effect: -3.4 points, CI -17.2, 10.5, p=0.633). Neither baseline function, age, nor cardiovascular health influenced receipt of ADT. CONCLUSIONS: ADT plus EBRT is associated with worse sexual function through 3-years follow-up in men with high-risk prostate cancer compared to EBRT alone. The addition of ADT in treatment of intermediate-risk disease does not appear to result in worse sexual function at 3 or 5-year follow-up compared to EBRT alone.
