Management of Patients with Nonmetastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer: Recommendations of a Multidisciplinary Panel of Experts from South America

Box 5

Recommendations regarding the management of quality of life in patients with M0CRPC.
(i)Treatment of patients with M0CRPC should aim at delaying the decline of their quality of life, which is likely achieved by delaying the occurrence of metastases
(ii)The adequate management of adverse events is a mainstay for preventing a therapy-driven decline in quality of life
(iii)Whenever possible, the patients’ quality of life should be assessed in routine practice. This assessment should rely on validated patient-reported experience measures (PREMs) or validated patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs).
