title: [Specialist uro-oncological rehabilitation after treatment for prostate cancer--update 2015. Position statement of the working group on "rehabilitation of urological and nephrological diseases" of the German Society of Urology with respect to current S3 guidelines].
abstract: After uro-oncological primary therapy of prostate cancer the quality of life of patients is often limited. The adequate and prompt treatment of specific urological functional, physical and mental deficits has a decisive influence on the quality of life. These deficits can be recorded using instruments for measuring the quality of life, in particular the QLQ-C30 of the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) and the SF-36 questionnaires. The quality of life is the most important parameter for quality assurance of the results. The primary objectives are the therapy of postoperative functional disorders, in particular urinary incontinence and erectile dysfunction in addition to overcoming the disease. The "urological triad" plays a central role in recovering the quality of life and patient satisfaction.
