Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
In addressing the need for effective post treatment support for men (and their partners) following treatment for prostate cancer, the investigators will employ an innovative SHAReClinic (Sexual health and Rehabilitation eClinic Program) that emphasizes: 1) a bio-medical component (erectile rehabilitation), focused on the long term return of erectile functioning firm enough for penetration with or without erectile agents/devices; and 2) a psychological component (intimacy maintenance), involving the maintenance or restoration of couples' intimacy. Through comparison research, the eClinic will be analyzed and made comparable in quality to the programs offered currently at leading institutions in major metropolitan areas, thus providing personalized, comprehensive cancer care to all Canadians.
