C H A P T E R S U M M A R Y Much of the research on men and prostate cancer has neglected gay and bisexual men. Assumptions are made that gay men are men too, so they must have the same experiences as heterosexual men. Recent research, however, has shown marked differences between gay and bisexual men and heterosexual men in diagnosis, treatment, care, and support. This chapter considers the recent research that is beginning to understand gay men’s different experiences of prostate cancer diagnosis and treatment, arguing that a focus on the social dimensions of gay men’s sexuality is needed. Three issues are explored: gay sex and sexuality, gay relationships and gay community, and HIV infection.

C H A P T E R S U M M A R Y In this chapter, we describe a model for understanding the process by which same-sex male couples cope with prostate cancer. The model incorporates individual factors (e.g., sociodemographics, perceptions of cancer treatment), coupleand relationship-level factors (e.g., relationship quality, communication), and prejudice and stigma, with the goal of explaining health behavior change and treatment outcomes among sexual minority men with prostate cancer. The interplay of the various factors in the model is explored in the context of communal coping — a dyadic process thought to increase a couple’s ability to respond positively to a health threat. We also discuss the importance of cancer care providers, who are a crucial factor in the patient’s experience of cancer treatment. Challenges for providers include integration of same-sex partners into cancer treatment, even though partner involvement is a well-established predictor of improved patient outcomes for heterosexual patients. Throughout the chapter, we provide empirical support from the current literature, as well as quotes from a qualitative study of LGBT cancer patients, which serve to illuminate the issues discussed. Our aim is to provide a conceptual framework for future investigations into the role of partners, facilitate interventions for same-sex couples who are coping with prostate cancer, and ultimately to improve the physical and psychological health of this underrepresented and understudied population.

C H A P T E R S U M M A R Y This chapter tells the story of the world’s leading gay, bisexual, and transgender (GBT) prostate cancer psychosocial support group network, Malecare. Challenged to develop the world’s first prostate cancer support group for gay men, a small group of social workers and psychologists developed a set of unique modalities to help GBT people with the psychosocial and sexual stressors associated with prostate cancer diagnosis and treatment. A new nonprofit organization called Malecare was formed to create novel programs, using those new interventions to help underserved men diagnosed with cancer. During the last two decades, Malecare has become a source of medical innovation, healthcare change, and psychosocial understanding for all men diagnosed with cancer throughout the world.

C H A P T E R S U M M A R Y This chapter addresses the sexual recovery of gay and bisexual men (GBM) with prostate cancer and their partners after surgery for prostate cancer. While the sexual function of the man with prostate cancer is primarily affected, the partner is also affected emotionally, and the couple’s sexual experience is changed. Both members of the couple will probably experience grief about sexual losses. In the process of recovery, they will have to learn to communicate more explicitly about their sexual needs and may need to employ novel strategies to stay connected and maintain a satisfying level of eroticism. Currently, little support is available for GBM couples. Knowledge development is needed to ensure that GBM couples’ sexual recovery proceeds toward maximizing their sexual health after prostate cancer treatment.

C H A P T E R S U M M A R Y Although sexual changes after prostate cancer have specific meanings and consequences for gay and bisexual men (GBM), little is known about how GBM navigate sexual well-being support. We surveyed 124 GBM with prostate cancer and 21 male partners, and interviewed a subsample of 46 GBM and 7 male partners, to examine GBM’s experiences of sexual communication with healthcare professionals after the onset of prostate cancer. GBM perceived a number of deficits in healthcare professional communication: heterosexuality of GBM patients was often assumed; sexual orientation disclosure was problematic; and GBM perceived rejection or lack of interest and knowledge from a majority of healthcare professionals with regard to gay sexuality and the effect of prostate cancer on GBM. Facilitators of communication were an acknowledgment of sexual orientation and exploration of the effect of prostate cancer on GBM. To improve support for GBM with prostate cancer, we conclude that healthcare professionals need to address issues of heterocentrism within prostate cancer care by improving facilitation of sexual orientation disclosure, recognizing that GBM with prostate cancer may have specific sexual and relational needs, and increasing knowledge and comfort discussing gay sexuality and gay sexual practices.
