Assessing mood and general health‐related quality of life among men treated in Australia for localized prostate cancer

Objective:  Although increasing numbers of Australian men are undergoing treatment for localized prostate cancer (PCa), the health‐related quality of life (HRQOL) of this patient cohort has received little research attention. We therefore compared the mood and general HRQOL of Australian localized PCa patients with a sample of untreated men.
