Survivorship represents a distinct phase of care focused on vigilant monitoring, rehabilitating physical function, and healing the psychological scars of a severe diagnosis. According to the American Cancer Society (ACS) and Memorial Sloan Kettering (MSK), adopting a structured survivorship plan drastically improves long-term quality of life. Managing Late Effects Prostate cancer therapies—whether surgery, radiation, or hormone deprivation—often leave lasting physiological impacts. MSK protocols stress that addressing these issues openly with your care team is crucial; there is no need to suffer in silence when advanced rehabilitative therapies exist. 1 Functional Rehabilitation Restoring urinary continence and erectile function can take several months to years. Engaging with specialized pelvic floor therapists and urologists who specialize in sexual medicine provides the highest probability of restoring pre-treatment function. 2 Vigilant Follow-Up Care Your Survivorship Care Plan should clearly detail your schedule for PSA testing, bone density scans, and general bloodwork.
