The impact of social networks and partnership status on treatment choice in men with localized prostate cancer.


Abstract

In the present study cohort, married men with fewer than two members in their social network were more likely to have undergone surgery.

Although marital status is often used as a proxy for social support, we find that the quality of support and partner may impact treatment type more than the extent of the social matrix.
