Résumé
Taboos related to cancer, ageing and sexuality are still topical and challenge sexuality for prostate cancer patients. Analysis of interviews with patients highlights the changes caused by the disease and treatments and the significance that they have on sexual life. Doctors must therefore focus on quality of life for these men whose masculinity is deeply affected.
