OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate work ability (WA) after radical prostatectomy (RP) in @entity263 survivors, in relation to post-RP @entity1494 ( @entity1494 ) and adjuvant or salvage pelvic radiation therapy (RT) and/or @entity34 ( @entity34 ). METHODS: @entity1 for this cross-sectional study were selected from two surveys on post-RP adverse effects and WA. All participated in the workforce. Using EPIC-50/26, @entity1494 was defined as daily use of at least one pad. Data on RT were obtained from the Cancer Registry of Norway. WA, measured by the @entity1442 ( @entity1442 ), was categorized into "excellent", "good" or "moderate/poor". Multinomial logistic regression analyses assessed associations between WA and selected variables. p values below 0.05 were considered statistically significant. RESULTS: Of 563 @entity1 , 18% had received post-RP RT and/or @entity34 . Compared to the "excellent" @entity1442 category, such treatment was significantly associated with belonging to the "good" or "moderate/poor" category. @entity1 with @entity1494 (30%) were more than twice as likely to report a "moderate/poor" @entity1442 than those without @entity1494 . Age above 65 years, less than 3 years since RP and co-morbidity were additional factors associated with increased risk of reporting a lower @entity1442 . Half of the @entity1 rated their current WA as "very good" with respect to the physical or mental demands of their work. CONCLUSION: Increasing age, @entity1494 , co-morbidity and time since RP are associated with decreasing post-RP WA. Without specifying the individual therapy, post-RP oncological treatment seems to have an additional negative effect, warranting consideration of @entity1 ' work plans when considering post-RP oncological treatment.
