Abstract

Sexual functioning was evaluated in 268 patients from a randomized dose-escalation trial treated with three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy. After two years, 36% of the pre-treatment potent patients had developed erectile dysfunction, without significant differences between both arms. By taking hormonal therapy into account, a lower percentage of erectile dysfunction was found compared to previous prospective studies. One third of patients still had sexual desire, considered sex important and 14% used potency aids after treatment.
