摘要
背景:前列腺癌(PC)的治疗与不良反应有关,尤其是对接受雄激素剥夺疗法(ADT)的患者。澳大利亚政府、非政府组织和负责销售 ADT 的制药公司发起并赞助了针对确诊为 PC 患者的各种战略支持计划:这篇专业文章概述了澳大利亚现有的 PC 患者支持计划,以帮助全科医生(GPs)指导患者转诊并优化临床护理:这些 PC 支持计划在教育材料、决策支持、临床护理管理和专业服务转介(如尿失禁建议、性健康咨询和心理支持)方面提供了有益的帮助。为了更有效地参与、教育和改善男性 PC 患者的生活,有必要在 PC 幸存者计划方面做出更多共同努力和更明智的投资。
Prostate cancer survivorship of Australian men living with prostate cancer: Patient support programs in Australia.
Background: Treatment for prostate cancer (PC) is associated with adverse effects, especially in patients receiving androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). The Australian Government, non-governmental organisations and pharmaceutical companies responsible for marketing ADT have initiated and sponsored various strategic support programs for patients diagnosed with PC.
Objective: This professional article provides an overview of available PC patient support programs in Australia to assist general practitioners (GPs) to direct patient referrals and optimise clinical care.
Discussion: These PC support programs provide useful assistance on educational materials, decision support, clinical care management and referral to specialised services (eg continence advice, sexual health counselling and psychological support). More concerted efforts and smarter investment in PC survivorship programs are necessary to engage, educate and improve the lives of men living with PC more effectively.

All articles are subject to peer review before they are accepted for publication.
