Abstract

Psychological morbidity, sexuality, and health/system information have been identified as the highest areas of support needs in patients undergoing management of their prostate cancer (PCa). Management of a patient's sexual function prior to, during and after PCa radiotherapy requires multidisciplinary coordination of care between radiation oncologists, urologists, dermatologists, pharmacists, and psychiatrists. The finale of this three-part review provides a framework for clinicians to better understand the role of mental healthcare providers in the management of sexual toxicities associated with prostatic radiotherapy. The authors recommend that patients be referred for psychological evaluation and possibly to individual, couples or group general or cognitive behavioral sex therapy at the time of their PCa diagnosis, for a more specialized focus on management of sexual toxicities and sexual recovery. The importance and implications of the masculine self-esteem, sexual orientation, gender identification, cultural expectations, relationship status and patient education are reviewed. Well-informed patients tend to have a better quality of life outcomes compared to patients that take on a passive role in their cancer management.
