Abstract

Little previous research has focused on gay and bisexual men who develop prostate cancer. However, a few small studies have recently been published that begin to tell the story of the specific problems gay and bisexual men with prostate cancer face. In this chapter, we summarize this recent literature and offer specific suggestions for changes to made by urologists and other cancer treatment providers to address the unique needs of gay and bisexual men for survivorship services. In addition, we discuss techniques that providers can use to make their practice more welcoming for gay and bisexual men facing prostate cancer.
