This book provides an overview of research and practice dealing
with the specific needs of gay and bisexual men living with
prostate cancer, as well as the special psychosocial needs of their
partners. The intention is twofold: to provide insight into the
unique experiences and concerns of gay or bisexual men living with
prostate cancer in order to inform and assist future research,
clinical practice and supportive care, and policy; and to ensure
that the needs of gay and bisexual men are recognized and advanced
