Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer and the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths among men in the U.S.3 The International Prostate Cancer Coalition (IPCC), with the support of Bayer HealthCare, commissioned Harris Poll to conduct the Prostate Cancer Symptoms Survey to understand how men living with prostate cancer interpret symptoms that could indicate advancing disease. The survey of 410 men with advanced prostate cancer and 95 caregivers reveals that 39 percent of men surveyed have waited to tell their healthcare team about symptoms they were experiencing, even though more than half (52 percent) associate symptoms like pain with their prostate cancer getting worse.1 "Advanced prostate cancer symptoms have a very real impact on daily life, but many men don't always recognize them – and even if they do, they may not speak about them or take action," said Brian Tomlinson, Chief Program Officer of CancerCare, the lead organization of the IPCC. "Today we launch Men Who Speak Up as part of a national effort to drive men with advanced prostate cancer to speak up about their symptoms and get the care they need." While early stage prostate cancer can cause no symptoms, symptoms may emerge as the disease progresses.3 The most common advanced prostate cancer symptoms experienced by survey respondents with bone metastases (cancer that has spread to their bones) include fatigue (85 percent), pain or aches in specific areas (71 percent), general all-over-body pain or aches (55 percent), numbness or weakness (55 percent), difficulty sleeping as a result of pain (42 percent), anxiety or distress as a result of pain (40 percent) and difficulty doing normal activities (40 percent).1 Through Men Who Speak Up (www.MenWhoSpeakUp.com), men with prostate cancer and their loved ones can download tools, including a symptoms tracker and a doctor discussion guide, to help make symptoms easier to identify and doctor's appointments more productive. "Conversations between men with prostate cancer and their doctors are not always easy – but they are vitally important, especially where symptoms are concerned," said Shannon Campbell, Vice President and General Manager of Oncology, Bayer HealthCare. "Physicians can serve a major role in assessing how men are feeling, if they are willing to voice their symptoms and concerns. The survey shows that while 97 percent of patients say they feel comfortable discussing symptoms with their doctors, only 46 percent actually do at every visit. More dialogue is needed." Jan Manarite from Patient Advocates for Advanced Cancer Treatments (PAACT), another member organization of the IPCC, knows firsthand how difficult it can sometimes be for men to speak up. When her husband, Dominic, was diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer in the year 2000, the cancer had already spread to his hips, ribs, spine and skull.

"When he finally saw the doctor, we learned he had been living with advanced prostate cancer with bone metastases for many years." Family members and caregivers can provide a different perspective than their loved ones on the impact of symptoms. The Prostate Cancer Symptoms Survey shed light on this difference, with nearly three-quarters (74 percent) of caregivers* surveyed reporting that pain often limits their loved one's activities, whereas fewer than half (44 percent) of the patients surveyed see an impact of pain on their activities.1 "Looking back – if he had understood that talking to a doctor about his pain would have empowered him as a patient, he may have had a different perspective," Manarite continued. "Dominic is gone now after a 13-year fight against metastatic prostate cancer. Our hope is that through Men Who Speak Up, we can reach more men like Dominic and encourage them to speak up and help them take action against advanced prostate cancer."
