Prostatectomy, Incontinence, and Erectile Dysfunction (PIE) study
Faculty involved: Graham Colditz, Siobhan Sutcliffe, Bettina Drake
The PIE study is a cohort study of prostate cancer survivors who underwent prostate surgery at Washington University School of Medicine and Brigham & Women’s Hospital. These men were followed for one year after their surgery to better understand the natural history of treatment side effects, such as urinary incontinence and sexual dysfunction, and possible factors that influence the natural history of these side effects, such as physical activity and obesity.
