Psychometric evaluation of PROMIS sexual function and satisfaction measures in a longitudinal population-based cohort of men with localized prostate cancer.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Sexual Function and Satisfaction (SexFS) measures. A population-based cohort of men with localized prostate cancer who were living in North Carolina and who could self-report their health-related quality of life in English completed surveys via phone interviews prior to treatment and at 3, 12, and 24 months after cancer treatment initiation. The researchers’ hypothesis was that men undergoing prostatectomy surgery would report the poorest sexual function at the 3-month survey. The study concludes that use of the PROMIS SexFS measures to assess sexual interest, erectile function, and satisfaction is strongly supported, and that these measures may be useful to identify effective interventions to treat sexual dysfunction and monitor sexual functioning in men with localized prostate cancer over time.

Screening for prostate cancer.
This case study describes a 57-year-old black man, non-smoker, who has a history of diabetes mellitus, currently well-controlled. He would like to discuss the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test even though he has no family history of prostate cancer. The case study questions are based on USPSTF recommendations for prostate cancer screening.

National trends in active surveillance for prostate cancer: validation of medicare claims-based algorithms.
This study analyzed the use of active surveillance of low-risk prostate cancer among a wide variety of health care practices. Researchers identified men with prostate cancer from 2012-2014 using a 100% sample of Michigan Medicare data and linked them with the Michigan Urologic Surgery Improvement Collaborative (MUSIC) registry. They analyzed the performance of 8 claims-based algorithms that were used and selected 3 of them to apply to a 20% national Medicare sample. The 3 algorithms were determined to be either the most sensitive, the most specific, and a balanced algorithm incorporating age and comorbidity. They found that use of surveillance for men increased from 2007 to 2014 but there was a large decrease in the rate of prostate cancer diagnosis. The rate of active surveillance either increased or remained stable depending on the algorithm used.

Racial variation in receipt of quality radiation therapy for prostate cancer.
Racial disparities are apparent in the management and outcomes for prostate cancer; however, disparities in compliance to quality measures for radiation therapy for prostate cancer have not been previously studied. The goal of this study was to characterize disparities in the compliance rates with quality measures. The investigators suggest that addressing disparities in access to providers that meet quality guidelines, and improving adherence to evidence-based processes of care may decrease racial/ethnic disparities in prostate cancer outcomes.

Contemporary prostate cancer radiation therapy in the United States: patterns of care and compliance with quality measures.
This study measured compliance with quality measures for radiation therapy treatment of prostate cancer. The Comparative Effectiveness Analysis of Surgery and Radiation Study enrolled men who were treated for localized prostate cancer from 2011 and 2012. Medical records were reviewed, and patients completed surveys. Researchers concluded that men who received external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) were treated more appropriately than those treated with brachytherapy (BT). White men were also more likely to receive appropriate treatment than African-American and other minorities.

Variation in prostate cancer treatment and spending among Medicare shared savings program accountable care organizations.
This study assessed whether the level of engagement in accountable care organizations (ACOs) by urologists affected rates of treatment, overtreatment, and spending. The investigators found that ACOs vary widely in treatment, potential overtreatment, and spending for prostate cancer. ACOs with stronger urologist engagement were less likely to treat men with a high risk of noncancer mortality, and this suggests that organizations that better engage specialists may be able to improve the value of specialty care.

Effect of prostate cancer severity on functional outcomes after localized treatment: comparative effectiveness analysis of surgery and radiation study results.
The purpose of this study was to determine whether differences in predicted function over time between radical prostatectomy (RP) or external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) for localized cancer varied by risk group. Patient-reported, disease-specific function was measured using the Expanded Prostate Index Composite and predicted function was estimated using regression models, compared by disease risk. The study found that sexual function was similar between surgery and radiation for patients with high-risk disease, and the authors conclude that high-risk patients undergoing radiation therapy should be counseled that their sexual function may not be as good as low-risk patients also undergoing radiation.

Testing of a tool for prostate cancer screening discussions in primary care.
As prostate cancer (PCa) screening decisions often occur in outpatient primary care, a brief tool to help the PCa screening conversation in busy clinic settings is needed. This paper discusses a previously-created 9-item tool to aid (PCa) screening discussions. The study found that the brief conversation tool was well received in busy primary-care settings and improved patients' knowledge about the screening decision.

Impact of accountable care organizations on diagnostic testing for prostate cancer.
The researchers sought to determine if Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) have the potential to accelerate the impact of prostate cancer screening recommendations. They concluded that the rate of PSA testing was not differentially affected by ACO participation. Conversely, there was an increase in the rate of prostate biopsy among patients of ACO-aligned physicians.

Exploring factors that might influence primary-care provider discussion of and recommendation for prostate and colon cancer screening.
This study sought to examine circumstances under which primary-care providers would discuss and recommend two types of cancer screening services across a spectrum of net benefit and other factors known to influence screening. While most providers' reported practice patterns aligned with net benefit, some providers would discuss and recommend low-value cancer screening, particularly when faced with a patient request.

Decision aid use during post-biopsy consultations for localized prostate cancer.
The purpose of this study was to characterize the content and communicative function of high-quality decision aids during diagnostic clinic visits for prostate cancer. Results showed that good decision aids, systematically provided to patients, appeared to function not to open up deliberations about how to balance benefits and harms of competing treatments, but rather to allow patients to ask narrow technical questions about recommended treatments.

Early effect of Medicare Shared Savings Program accountable care organization participation on prostate cancer care.
The purpose of this study was to understand the effect of Medicare Shared Savings Program accountable care organizations (ACOs) on prostate cancer care. The authors found that the treatment of prostate cancer and annual payments decreased significantly between 2010 and 2013, but ACO participation did not appear to impact these trends. Among men least likely to benefit, Medicare Shared Savings Program ACO alignment was associated with a significant decline in prostate cancer treatment.

Racial variation in patient-reported outcomes following treatment for localized prostate cancer: results from the CEASAR study.
This study tested the hypothesis that treatment-related changes in urinary, bowel, sexual, and hormonal function vary by race/ethnicity. It concluded that the effect of treatment for prostate cancer on patient-reported function did not vary dramatically by race/ethnicity. Compared to white men, African-American men experienced a somewhat more pronounced decline in urinary continence after radical prostatectomy.

Association between choice of radical prostatectomy, external beam radiotherapy, brachytherapy, or active surveillance and patient-reported quality of life among men with localized prostate cancer.
This study compared quality of life after radical prostatectomy, external beam radiotherapy, and brachytherapy vs active surveillance. By 24 months, mean scores between treatment groups vs active surveillance were not significantly different in most domains. However, each treatment strategy was associated with distinct patterns of adverse effects over 2 years.

Association between radiation therapy, surgery, or observation for localized prostate cancer and patient-reported outcomes after 3 years.
This study compares functional outcomes and adverse effects associated with radical prostatectomy, external beam radiation therapy (EBRT), and active surveillance. It concluded that radical prostatectomy was associated with a greater decrease in sexual function and urinary incontinence than either EBRT or active surveillance after 3 years and was associated with fewer urinary irritative symptoms than active surveillance.

More judicious use of expectant management for localized prostate cancer during the last 2 decades.
Urologists have been criticized for overtreating men with low risk prostate cancer and for passively observing older men with higher risk disease. Proponents of active surveillance for low risk disease and critics of watchful waiting for higher risk disease have advocated for more judicious use of observation. In this study, the investigator compared 2 population based cohorts to determine how expectant management has evolved during the last 2 decades.

Utilization and predictors of expectant management among elderly men with low-and intermediate-risk localized prostate cancer in U.S. urological practice.
Researchers assessed the use and predictors of expectant management (EM) to understand its uptake in U.S. practice. In U.S. practice, the utilization of EM steadily increased in low-risk prostate cancer and remained low in the intermediate-risk group over time. While patients with advanced age or comorbidities were more likely to receive EM, its use varied substantially by geographic region.

Physician recommendations trump patient preferences in prostate cancer treatment decisions.
This study assessed the influence of patient preferences and urologist recommendations in treatment decisions for clinically localized prostate cancer. It found that patients' initial treatment preferences did not predict receipt of active treatment versus surveillance. Instead, receipt of active treatment was predicted primarily by urologists' recommendations.
