Summary
The optimal management of localized prostate cancer (PC) should take account consideration of patient and clinical risk factors, as well as patient preferences. Because of the high survival for localized prostate cancer [1], the long-term effects on HealthRelated Quality of Life (HRQOL) are possibly the most important base for the therapy decision [2,3]. Well-documented reports of HRQoL effects are important in particular for patients to make well informed and evidence-based treatment decisions. Guidelines do not serve the increasing interest in the potential relationship between treatment side effects and treatment decision [5]. This interest is linked to the shared decision-making paradigm, in which a “good” treatment choice is defined as one that fits the patients’ values and preferences [6]
