Sexual quality of life using the Health Inventory for Men (SHIM) and Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite (EPIC): (A) SHIM, (B) EPIC sexual and (C) EPIC hormonal scores. The graphs show unadjusted changes in average scores over time for each domain. SHIM scores range from 0 - 25 with lower values representing worsening sexual symptoms. EPIC scores range from 0 - 100 with higher values representing a more favorable health-related QOL. The graphs show unadjusted changes in average toxicity and QOL scores over time. Numbers above each time point indicate the number of observations contributing to the average.
