Cultural Adaptation and Validation of the Turkish Version of the Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite

What's known on the subject? and What does the study add?With the tests and imaging methods developed in the field of health, prostate cancer (PCa) can be diagnosed at an early stage.PCa detected at an early stage can be successfully treated, and life expectancy is extended after treatment.Quality of life (QoL) is an important aspect in terms of PCa due to the various treatment options after diagnosis and urinary, bowel, hormonal, and sexual dysfunctions that develop depending on the characteristics of each treatment option.These complications occurring in these systems affect the QoL in the patient's social and functional life.Today, QoL scales are used in many countries of the world to evaluate functional disorders that develop due to PCa treatment, and new ones are being developed.There are very few scales that have been validated and are reliable for this purpose in our country.The aim of this study was to culturally adapt the Turkish version of the EPIC questionnaire.
