In this Review, Trabulsi and colleagues discuss deficiencies in our current QOL measurement system and make recommendations for assessing QOL for specific subpopulations of patients. They consider the effect of ethnicity on QOL for patients with prostate cancer, with a particular focus on white, African American, Latin American, and Asian men. They also review some of the QOL issues that are known to affect men who have sex with men, a subpopulation of patients that is under-represented in prostate cancer care.
