Health-related quality of life, psychological distress, and fatigue in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer patients treated with radium-223 therapy

M. J. V. D. Doelen, I. M. Oving, et al.

This multicenter, prospective observational study reveals critical insights into health-related quality of life (HR-QoL), psychological distress, and fatigue among metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer patients treated with radium-223. The findings indicate that those who discontinued treatment faced significant declines in HR-QoL and well-being over time. Conducted by an expert team of researchers including Maarten J. van der Doelen and Judith B. Prins, this study uncovers important predictive factors for HR-QoL deterioration.
