The Long-Term Sexual and Urological Side Effects of Surgical Removal of the Prostate for Cancer: A Personal Perspective from a Research Scientist
Author(s): Walter R Schumm
A primary concern for victims of prostate cancer is survival, but side-effects of prostate cancer surgery can reduce one’s quality of life in many ways. As a researcher and scholar, my experience of those side-effects may be more detailed than reported in much of the scientific literature or as discussed with cancer patients and their families by medical staff. The side-effects can be long in duration, can have an impact on family relationships as well as the patient, and can be ameliorated only in part in some cases. In order to make fully informed decisions about prospective cancer treatments, patients should be made aware of the details of their possible side-effects rather than merely hearing of them in terms of vague generalities.
