Secondary Outcome Measures:

urinary symptom score and erectile function over time [ Time Frame: 12 months after treatment ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Enrollment:	93
Study Start Date:	March 2005
Study Completion Date:	December 2007
Primary Completion Date:	December 2007 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)

Groups/Cohorts
1 active surveillance
2 radical prostatectomy
3 external beam radiotherapy
4 high intensity focused ultrasound

Detailed Description:

Quality of life is of great concern to patients considering treatment options for prostate cancer. Patients with clinically localized prostate cancer treated with active surveillance, radical prostatectomy, external radiotherapy and high intensity focused ultrasound were included. All men completed the questionnaires of Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Prostate (FACT-P) (version 4), International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) and International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) before treatment and 1, 3, 6, 12 months after treatment.
