Development and Validation of Sexual Quality of Life Questionnaire for Men-Who-Have-Sex-with-Men with Prostate Cancer

The purpose of this study is to develop a sexual function survey specific for men who have sex with men (MSM), and who have also been diagnosed with prostate cancer. This survey will be used to further research on MSM with prostate cancer, and help such men make treatment decisions. 

You will be asked to complete the survey twice, with 2-4 weeks between each completion. Each time it may take from 30-50 minutes. An email will be sent to you to remind you to complete the survey for the second time. The study will be closed when we receive sufficient responses. 

You are eligible for this survey, if you:i. are between 40 and 75 years of age,ii. have had previous sexual experience with men,iii. have a previous diagnosis of prostate cancer, iv. currently on active surveillance or previously treated with surgery, external beam radiation, or brachytherapy, with/without hormone therapy.

Hi Darryl: I opted for HIFU treatment one year ago. I'm new to the site (a few weeks). I've not seen a discussion of HIFU. I can answer yes to each criterion except, I think #4. If I'm reading the criteria for this study correctly, HIFU would not be considered as one of the three treatments listed. Is that correct?

Thanks for considering this. Unfortunately, HIFU (only treatment) patients are excluded
