Physical Performance and Activity in Older Prostate Cancer Survivors in Comparison with Population-based Matched Controls
In this study, we investigated physical function in older men several years after they had undergone curatively intended treatment for prostate cancer in comparison with men in a general population of the same age and education. We found that physical function was similar, except slightly poorer grip strength and balance on one leg in men treated for prostate cancer. We conclude that the overall physical function was comparable with that of the general population and believe that this indicates that prostate cancer treatment was well tolerated despite older age.
