简要总结
Prostate cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers in Canada, with 24,000 new cases estimated for 2015. Prostate cancer patients often live with uncomfortable side effects of treatment, such as a decrease in bone health, weight gain, and challenges to their interpersonal relationships. Nutrition can improve outcomes for PCa survivors; however, dietary interventions for prostate cancer patients are limited. Therefore, this is a feasibility study that tests the impact of an innovative intervention to promote healthy nutrition and weight control for prostate cancer survivors and their partners.
The objectives are to assess the feasibility of the intervention, specifically:
- Accrual, retention and adherence, and participant satisfaction
- Candidate measures for primary outcomes in future studies
The intent is to evaluate how well the classes work and identify ways to make them more successful. At the end of the study, the investigators will know if this approach shows merit to be tested further through a randomized controlled trial.
详细描述
Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most commonly-diagnosed invasive cancer in Canada, with 24,000 new cases predicted for 2015. The large majority of men (96%) will survive five or more years post-diagnosis. However, many PCa survivors live with side effects of the disease and treatment and may develop chronic conditions due to aging and/or cancer therapy. The PCa-related side effects can also impact men's interpersonal relationships. Effective interventions to promote health and well-being for PCa survivors are urgently needed.
Evidence shows that nutrition can improve outcomes for PCa survivors; however, dietary interventions for prostate cancer patients are limited. Furthermore, all PCa-related interventions reported thus far are limited in one important way: they focus only on the patient/survivor. Yet, the impact of prostate cancer extends to the spouse as well. When it comes to lifestyle interventions, responsibility for health behaviours and food preparation typically falls on the wife, particularly in today's cohort of PCa patients. As such, engaging the partner is crucial to ensure success for the survivor, and provide benefits for the wife as well.
Therefore, this is a feasibility study that tests the impact of an innovative intervention to promote healthy nutrition and weight control for PCa survivors and their partners.
The objectives are to assess the feasibility of the intervention, specifically:
- Accrual, retention and adherence, and participant satisfaction
- Candidate measures for primary outcomes in future studies
