QoL in prostate cancer - The study sample will be composed of a consecutive series of prostate cancer patients, stratified by stage of disease, local and locally advanced versus advanced (metastatic) disease, and undergoing active anti-tumor therapy. In order to increase sample homogeneity, and to facilitate evaluation of the responsiveness of the quality of life instruments to changes in patients' health status and symptoms experience over time, the subsample of patients with local or locally advanced disease will be restricted to those undergoing surgery (radical prostatectomy) or radiation therapy, and the subsample of metastatic disease patients will be limited to those receiving hormonal therapy.
