Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of four of the nowadays most established primary treatments for patients with clinically localized prostate cancer (active surveillance, robot-assisted radical prostatectomy, intensity-modulated radiotherapy, and real-time brachytherapy) at short-, mid- and long-term follow-up. The primary aim is assessing the impact of treatments' side effects on patient's quality of life. As secondary objectives, biochemical disease-free survival, overall survival, and prostate cancer-specific survival will also be assessed.

Primary outcomes (1)
- measure
- Impact of treatments' side effects on patients' quality of life measured in terms of change in the score of the Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite (EPIC) from baseline to 1, 3, 6, 12, 24, 60, 84, 120, 180, and 240 months after treatment.

- description
- The Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite-26 (EPIC-26) is a prostate cancer-specific questionnaire that measures urinary, sexual, bowel, and hormonal domains, ranging from 0 to 100. Response options for each EPIC item are on a 4-, 5-, or 6-level Likert scale. Items are grouped in summary scores for sexual, bowel, and hormonal domains, and in 2 scores for the urinary domain (incontinence and irritative/obstructive symptoms), which are transformed linearly to a scale from 0 to 100, where higher scores indicate better outcomes.
