Diblasio et al. (2008) studied the incidence of patient-reported sexual and erectile dysfunction (ED), and response to treatment in men after the induction of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) for prostate cancer, as ADT-induced changes in serum testosterone can result in changes in libido and sexual function.
Frosch et al. (2008) conducted a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the influence of patient-decision-support websites on decision quality for men considering prostate cancer screening.
