“…7 Conversely, SDW patients were more likely to harbor locally advanced PCa at RP (OR 1.1, 95% CI 1.0-1.2, P = 0.001). It is noteworthy that Abdollah et al were not able to investigate whether SDW patients were actually single or lived with a partner.…”

“…For example, Abdollah et al showed no significant differences between married and never married individuals (HR 1.0), whereas Tyson et al recorded an increased risk of cancer-specific mortality within unmarried individuals (HR 1.4, P < 0.001). 7,8 Third, the study population consisted of just 9% single patients. Differences within reported rates of single patients might be caused by different definitions of marital status in use, different regions (USA vs Europe), timespans and health resources (center of excellence vs community hospitals).…”

Oncological outcome after radical prostatectomy: Marital status does not make a difference

et al. 2015

Objectives: To examine the impact of marital status on prostate cancer characteristics at radical prostatectomy and oncological outcome after surgery at a high-volume center. Methods: We relied on the Martini-Clinic Prostate Cancer database and investigated 8088 prostate cancer patients treated with radical prostatectomy between January 2000 and March 2011. We analyzed differences in clinical and pathological characteristics according to marital status (married and partnership vs single). Additionally, we relied on multivariable Cox regression analyses to predict biochemical recurrence, metastases and death after radical prostatectomy. Finally, Kaplan-Meier analyses were used in a propensity score-matched cohort, adjusted for clinical and pathological characteristics, to examine differences in biochemical recurrence-free, metastases-free and overall survival according to marital status. Results: According to marital status, no significant differences were recorded within clinical and pathological characteristics (all P > 0.05). The impact of marital status on biochemical recurrence (hazard ratio 1.0, 95% confidence interval 0.9-1.3, P = 0.7), metastases (hazard ratio 1.3, 95% confidence interval 0.8-2.1, P = 0.3) and death (hazard ratio 0.8, 95% confidence interval 0.4-1.6, P = 0.6) after radical prostatectomy was not significant (median follow up 48 months). Kaplan-Meier analyses recorded no significant differences for biochemical recurrence-free, metastases-free and overall survival (all log-rank P > 0.05) according to marital status. Conclusions: Marital status does not affect the clinical and pathological characteristics of radical prostatectomy patients treated at a high-volume center. Furthermore, marital status does not affect biochemical recurrence-free and metastases-free survival after radical prostatectomy.

Men diagnosed with prostate cancer (PCa) can receive supportive care from an array of sources including female partners and prostate cancer support groups (PCSGs).However, little is known about how heterosexual gender relations and supportive care play out among couples who attend PCSGs. Distilling such gender relation patterns is key to understanding and advancing supportive care for men who experience PCa and their families.Purpose: This study describes connections between heterosexual gender relations and PCa supportive care among couples who attend PCSGs. Method:In-depth, individual interviews with 30 participants (15 men treated for PCa and their female partners) were analyzed using interpretive descriptive methods. Couples were asked about their relationships, supportive care needs and attendance at PCSGs. A heterosexual gender relations framework was used to theorize the findings.Results: Findings showed that traditional heterosexual gender relations guided most couples' PCa related support both in and out of PCSGs. Three themes were inductively derived: "Not pushing too hard" -Balancing women's support with men's autonomy; "Confreres" -Men supporting men at PCSGs; and "Women are better at reassuring" -Support from and for women.

Background: Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive tumor phenotype which has limited therapeutic options. Epidemiological studies suggested a number of risk factors that are associated with the prognosis of TNBC. Survival difference exists among patients diagnosed with TNBC after adjusting these risk factors. This study aims to investigate the survival of women with triple negative phenotype breast cancer (BC).

The effect of marital status on stage and survival of prostate cancer patients treated with radical prostatectomy: a population-based study

Abstract: Being SDW significantly increased the risk of more advanced stage at RP. Following surgery, SDW men portended to a higher CSM and ACM rate than married men. Consequently, these individuals may benefit from a more focused health care throughout the natural history of their disease.
