ABSTRACT
Urinary incontinence is defined by the International Continence Society as the complaint of any involuntary leakage of urine,1 where patients are unable to hold their own urine and consequently wet themselves. In men with prostate cancer, urinary incontinence may arise from treatment of early stage disease, but it is also common in advanced prostate cancer. The effects of aging, concomitant age-related conditions, and other treatable factors may aggravate loss of urinary control and impair lower urinary tract function. Incontinence causes considerable distress and debility with a major negative effect on quality of life, impacting patients and their families.2
