ABSTRACT

Objective: To investigate the psychological impact on patients treated for prostate cancer in multiparametric MRI-ultrasound targeted puncture biopsy and to give relevant interventions. METHODS: To retrospectively investigate the content of patients received after radical prostate cancer surgery and perioperative period in the First Hospital of Qiqihar Medical University from January 2018 to October 2021, all of whom underwent TRUS conventional 12-needle method systematic puncture biopsy and mp MRI-ultrasound targeted puncture biopsy after mp MRI scan. Complete survival data and general information were obtained through follow-up, and the patients were assessed on the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale psychological status. RESULTS: Statistics showed statistically significant differences in mean scores between the IT<4 weeks group and the IT≥4 weeks group in the anxiety scale (P<0.001) and no statistically significant differences in mean scores between the two groups in the depression scale (P>0.05, Table 1). Conclusion: Surgical time interval may not affect the efficacy of radical prostate cancer treatment and the ease of surgery, while the prolongation of the interval has a significant impact on patients' psychological status. Therefore, arranging multidisciplinary oncology discussion including psychological medicine department for oncology patients after diagnosis and formulating individualized comprehensive treatment plans with reasonable time intervals may provide a double guarantee for patients' survival time and quality of life. In order to reduce patients' psychological pain, the interval between surgeries for prostate cancer patients should be shortened as much as possible to reduce patients' psychological adverse reactions while effectively controlling tumors.
