Why the study?
To identify symptom profiles among prostate cancer survivors, examine factors associated with these profiles, and compare quality-of-life outcomes.

What are the symptom profiles and associated factors among prostate cancer survivors?
Odds Ratio: 1.28
p-value: p=0.006
Prostate cancer survivors can be classified into high- and low-symptom groups, with higher stress and poorer spiritual well-being associated with higher symptom burden and worse quality of life.
An et al. (2025) conducted an observational in Prostate cancer (n=98). Higher perceived stress vs. Lower perceived stress was evaluated on Classification into the high-symptom group (OR 1.28, p=0.006). Higher perceived stress (OR 1.28; p=0.006) and poorer spiritual well-being (OR 0.84; p=0.006) were significantly associated with a high-symptom profile among prostate cancer survivors.
