This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This is a research study being conducted in Germany that listens to prostate cancer patients and their loved ones about their experiences with radiation therapy. Researchers want to understand what challenges patients face — both during and after treatment — so they can design better support programs that start before or during therapy rather than waiting weeks afterward.
Many prostate cancer patients experience tough side effects from radiation therapy, like changes in sexual function, bladder control, and bowel function. Currently, support programs usually don't start until 4–6 weeks after treatment ends. This study aims to learn whether starting these programs earlier — even before therapy begins — could help prevent or reduce these side effects.

You will be invited to participate in interviews where researchers ask you about your experiences before, during, and after your radiation therapy treatment. If possible, a family member or partner may also be interviewed. The study is interested in learning what you found most challenging, what support you needed, and what kinds of prehabilitation programs you think would have helped you.
