Treatment options for men with PCa, such as androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), come with a wide variety of adverse effects, including cancer-related fatigue, which greatly impacts quality of life (QoL). PURPOSE: Conduct a preliminary analysis on the association between cortisol, fatigue and QoL in men with PCa. METHODS: This study is part of an ongoing study to determine the impact of PCa and PCa treatment on fatigue and QoL approved by the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio …
