Abstract
Key points:
• Many prostate cancer survivors face ongoing decrements in health-related quality of life (HRQoL)
• The long-term trajectories of men with prostate cancer are not well described
• To our knowledge, this is the first substantive prospective study to track men's HRQoL, life satisfaction and symptom burden ten years from diagnosis
• Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), multiple comorbidities, younger age and socioeconomic disadvantage are risk indicators for poorer long-term HRQoL after prostate cancer.
• Risk indicators need to be incorporated into survivorship care planning to facilitate personalised care for men most at risk of poorer physical and mental health.
