Cognitive function, depression, and anxiety in patients undergoing radical prostatectomy with and without adjuvant treatment
Neuropsychiatric Disease and Treatment Apr 12, 2019
Jarzemski P, et al. - Among 100 patients (aged 50–77 years) who had radical, laparoscopic prostatectomy for prostate cancer (PC), researchers studied the connection between neuropsychological symptoms and clinical course. Adjuvant therapy (radiotherapy and hormonal therapy) was also given to 23 patients with a more advanced clinical stage. Investigators found that psychological burden and cognitive disorders were risks for patients who undergo PC surgical and adjunct therapy. Depression, anxiety, and delayed memory dysfunction were associated with physical complications following surgery. Better cognitive and psychological functioning are linked to less complications after surgery. After prostatectomy, appropriate neuropsychological and psychiatric care can improve patient compliance and quality of life.
