Multicenter Study
The burden of urinary incontinence and urinary bother among elderly prostate cancer survivors.
Data describing urinary health in elderly, community-dwelling prostate cancer (PCa) survivors are limited. ⋯ Compared with their peers without PCa, elderly PCa survivors had a two-fold to five-fold greater prevalence of urinary incontinence, which rose with increasing survivorship duration. Observation, surgery, and ADT were each associated with increased urinary bother. These data suggest a substantially greater burden of urinary health problems among elderly PCa survivors than previously recognized.
