Abstract

Abstract : Survival remains a primary aim of treatment in prostate cancer, but quality of life is also an essential benefit of any therapy. Patient‐reported outcome measures, which record quality of life as perceived by the patient, are now widely used in cancer trials and, as discussed in this article, have a place in everyday practice.
