Diabetes and quality of life among men with prostate cancer

It has long been recognized that the combination of prostate cancer and diabetes tends to have a notable impact on the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of male patients.

A reaearch team studied changes in general and cancer-specific HRQoL with a specific focus on the impact of concomitant diabetes mellitus.

The authors conclude that, “Prostate cancer survivors with comorbid diabetes have poorer general and cancer-specific [HRQoL] than those without diabetes.”
