Abstract Objectives To assess the long-term effects of various exercise modes on psychological distress in men with prostate cancer on androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). Patients and methods 135 prostate cancer patients aged 43–90 years on ADT were randomized to twice weekly supervised impact loading and resistance exercise (ImpRes), supervised aerobic and resistance exercise (AerRes), and usual care/delayed supervised aerobic exercise (DelAer) for 12 months, and completed measures of psychological distress using the Brief Symptom Inventory-18 (BSI-18). BSI-18 provides three subscales for anxiety, depression, and somatisation, as well as the global severity index (GSI) where higher scores indicate higher distress. Results Following the intervention, somatization was not different to baseline, however, there were significant interactions (p < 0.01) for depression, anxiety, and the GSI. In ImpRes, depression was reduced at 12 months compared to baseline and 6 months (0.78 ± 1.39 vs. 1.88 ± 3.24 and 1.48 ± 2.65, p < 0.001), as was the GSI (3.67 ± 4.34 vs. 5.94 ± 7.46 and 4.64 ± 4.73, p < 0.001) with anxiety reduced compared to baseline (1.08 ± 1.54 vs. 1.98 ± 2.56). Depression and the GSI decreased (p < 0.05) in AerRes at 6 months but increased by 12 months, while in DelAer the GSI was reduced at 12 months compared to 6 months (3.78 ± 3.94 vs. 5.25 ± 4.22, p = 0.031). Men with the highest level of anxiety, depression, somatization, and the GSI improved the most with exercise (ptrend < 0.001). Conclusion Various supervised exercise modes (aerobic, resistance and impact loading) are effective in reducing psychological distress in men with prostate cancer on ADT. Those with the highest level of psychological distress improved the most. Supervised exercise should be prescribed to improve psychological health in prostate cancer patients on ADT.

Although the detrimental effect upon psychological well-being of receiving a diagnosis of, or treatment for, cancer has been demonstrated across many different types of cancer, three recent reviews of the psychological health of prostate cancer patients have produced contradictory conclusions. In order to elucidate the reasons for these apparent different conclusions, each of these reviews is described, with principal methods and findings summarised. Actual data, methodology used to select/reject research studies for inclusion in reviews, plus the validity of strict methodological culling of some research studies are discussed. Several extra studies and commentaries are also described, and a resolution of the apparent contradictory review conclusions is offered.

Early Prostate Cancer

210 Background: Early prostate cancer is often considered as being associated with a good prognosis and quality of life. However, early prostate cancer research mainly focus on its medical aspects, rarely considering its psychological impact. We aimed to prospectively analyze the correlation between illness perception, quality of life (QOL) and psychological distress among prostate cancer patients, in comparison to healthy controls. Methods: Early prostate cancer patients and healthy controls were prospectively recruited through convenience sampling. Participants filled questionnaires of demographic, illness perception (IPQ-R), QOL (MOS SF-36) and anxiety and depression (HADS). We compared the illness perception, QOL and psychological distress between patients and healthy controls. Results: 51 early prostate cancer patients and 65 healthy men controls were included. Median age was 69. Patients and healthy participants differed in illness perception ['consequences' (p<.001), 'emotional representations' (p<.001)] and psychological distress (p<.01). There was a correlation between the patient illness perception and QOL (p<.05) and psychological distress (p<.05). Among patients, the correlation between psychological distress and QOL was mediated by illness perception (p<.05), while it was not among controls. Conclusions: Diagnosis of early prostate cancer may have a psychological impact. Among early prostate cancer patients, a correlation may exist between illness perception, and quality of life (QOL) and psychological distress. Our results emphasize the need to identify patient distress and to implement therapeutic interventions also in a disease which usually is associated with a good prognosis.
