Data sharing statement: Technical appendices are available from the corresponding author.""Prostate cancer is the most common cancer for men in the UK (second worldwide), and many survivors experience long-lasting physical and psychological needs. Over the past 20?years, in the UK, incidence rates have doubled, but mortality rates have dropped by a quarter.1 2 Common physical symptoms are related to sexual function, urinary incontinence,3 bowel symptoms,4 hot flushes and the risk of bone fracture.5 The management of chronic comorbid conditions (eg, cardiovascular disease and cerebrovascular disease, hypertension, diabetes) often further increases the level of need, and about two-thirds of patients with prostate cancer are expected to have at least one major comorbidity.
