Little is known about quality of life and symptoms of male breast cancer survivors.
We recruited men with stage 0-4 breast cancer for an on-line survey through www.outoftheshadowofpink.com, www.malebreastcancer.org, and www.malebreastcancer.ca. Surveys included expanded prostate cancer index composite (EPIC) hormonal/sexual scales, hospitalized anxiety and depression scale (HADS), Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Breast (FACT-B), sociodemographic/disease-related, genetic, and fertility-related items.
Forty-two responded. Mean EPIC Sexual and Hormonal scores were 44.5 and 81.3, respectively, suggesting symptom burden. Mean FACT-B score was 111.1, consistent with impaired overall quality of life.
Male survivors experience substantial sexual and hormonal symptoms.
男性乳腺癌幸存者的生活质量和症状知之甚少。
我们通过 www.outoftheshadowofpink.com、www.malebreastcancer.org 和 www.malebreastcancer.ca 招募了 0-4 期男性乳腺癌患者进行在线调查。调查包括扩展前列腺癌指数综合量表(EPIC)的激素/性功能量表、住院焦虑和抑郁量表(HADS)、癌症治疗功能评估-乳房(FACT-B)量表、社会人口统计学/疾病相关、遗传和生育相关项目。
42 人回应。EPIC 性功能和激素评分的平均值分别为 44.5 和 81.3,表明存在症状负担。FACT-B 评分的平均值为 111.1,表明整体生活质量受损。
男性幸存者经历了严重的性功能和激素症状。
