Impact of Prostate Cancer Treatment on the Sexual Quality of Life for Men‐Who‐Have‐Sex‐with‐Men

ConclusionsThe negative impact on sexual QoL can be severe for MSM and requires targeted attention. Penile–vaginal intercourse and erectile function have been the primary focus of sexual research and rehabilitation for men with PCa, and do not adequately reflect the sexual practices of MSM. Our findings suggest that future research dedicated to MSM with PCa is needed to incorporate their sexual practices and preferences specifically into treatment decisions, and that targeted oncological and psychosocial support services are also warranted.
