Do not ignore the MIND!!!

Overall 45% of patients with #ProstateCancer had at least one well being problem

The suicidal ideation of 8% is rather worrying

Thanks to all our patients and collaborators at 8 centres led by @BrunckhorstO @kahmed198 @KingsIoPPN @KingsMINDU #AAEU23

[Oliver Brunckhorst @BrunckhorstO]

One last plug for any healthcare workers involved in Prostate cancer care to complete this survey looking at your views on patients psychosocial wellbeing.

Your views would be very much appreciated!

Great to present our interim analysis of the MIND-P study at #AUA2022 today. Honoured it was selected as best presentation at the podium session.
Continues to show the mental wellbeing impact of prostate cancer and its importance in routine care
@kahmed198 @prokarurol @KingsMINDU

[King's MIND-U Group @KingsMINDU]

Whilst the greatest impact remains at the time of diagnosis, a subsequent cyclical anxiety and fear of disease progression was seen, particularly prominent around monitoring appointments.

Better support for patients at these times are important to improve quality of life.

[King's MIND-U Group @KingsMINDU]

Our first original article has been published in @MASCC_JSCC.
Our qualitative study highlights the initial and ongoing impact on individuals wellbeing for those undergoing active surveillance for prostate cancer.

The benefits of publishing surgeons' outcomes discussed in our article

'In an era in which transparency and accountability are essential, it is difficult to argue that surgeons’ outcomes should not be freely available'

[King's MIND-U Group @KingsMINDU]

Our latest review in @UrolOncol shows the negative association between depression, anxiety and Uro Ca outcomes. Poorer functional and mortality outcomes particularly in male cancers like Prostate and Testicular Ca!

Another of our reviews published in @jcansurv evaluating the impact of a prostate cancer diagnosis on masculinity, body image and self-esteem.

Important to consider all aspects of wellbeing post diagnosis!
