      Aarsæther, Erling Johan; Roaldsen, Marius; Knutsen, Tore; Patel, Hiten R.; Soltun, Bård (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-10-14)
      Early urinary incontinence remains a major source of morbidity for patients undergoing robotic prostatectomy. The purpose of the study was to determine whether the introduction of a suspension stitch would improve early urinary continence rates in patients undergoing robotic prostatectomy for localized prostate cancer at our department. We retrospectively reviewed patients undergoing robotic ...

      Background - Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) after prostate cancer (PC) treatment, including both radical prostatectomy (RP) and salvage radiation therapy (SRT), are under-reported.<p> <p>Objective - To investigate PROMs longitudinally from before SRT until 18 mo after SRT for men treated with contemporary treatment modalities.<p> <p>Design, setting, and participants - This prospective, ...
    • Patient-reported outcomes after curative treatment for prostate cancer with prostatectomy, primary radiotherapy or salvage radiotherapy 

      Sælen, Marie Grøn; Hjelle, Line Veronika; Aarsæther, Erling Johan; Knutsen, Tore; Andersen, Sigve; Bentzen, Anne Gry; Richardsen, Elin; Fosså, Sophie Dorothea; Haugnes, Hege Sagstuen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-06-24)
      Trials reporting adverse health outcomes (AHOs) in terms of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) after contemporary curative treatment of prostate cancer (PC) are hampered by study heterogeneity and lack of new treatment techniques. Particularly, the evidence regarding toxicities after radiotherapy (RT) with the volumetric arc therapy (VMAT) technique is limited, and comparisons between men ...
