FAQ

This initiative is specifically designed for healthcare professionals involved in prostate cancer care, including urologists, oncologists, nurses, psychologists, sex therapists, physiotherapists, and primary care physicians.

Sexual dysfunction is one of the most common and significant quality-of-life concerns for men after prostate cancer treatment. Many patients report that sexual health concerns remain an unmet need in survivorship. By integrating sexual health discussions into clinical care, healthcare providers can improve patient outcomes and overall well-being.

This website provides a wide range of educational materials to support healthcare professionals in integrating sexual health into prostate cancer care, including:

• Expert video discussions featuring Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) explaining key topics related to sexual health and rehabilitation.
• Dedicated sessions at relevant meetings, where sexual health and prostate cancer care are addressed.
• Advanced workshops at international sexual medicine meetings for hands-on skill development.
• Webinars offering interactive learning opportunities with experts in the field.
• The ISSM & Movember Toolkit – a collection of practical resources, including guideline summaries, clinician interviews, patient education materials, and a professional slide set.

• Use KOL video discussions to stay informed on best practices.
• Apply clinician interviews to refine patient communication.
