Popis:	Materials and Methods Monotherapy for localised prostate cancer with radical prostatectomy, external beam radiotherapy or brachytherapy produce similar oncological outcomes. Hence there is increasing need to evaluate and communicate the quality of life outcomes of these treatments. The aim of our prospective study was to determine how the various types of radical treatment at a tertiary referral centre affected the health related quality of life (HRQOL) domains of urinary, sexual, bowel, and hormonal features relative to men managed with active surveillance.
