The needs of heterosexual men were perceived to be acmodated more often than that of gay and bisexual men bee of engraed heteronormativy the health-re system.
The review suggts that more support groups specifilly for gay and bisexual men should be tablished, while urologists should ter to the sexual and mascule implitns of treatment, and not ame problems for gay and bisexual men heterosexual terms. By failg to addrs the salient needs and ncerns of gay and bisexual men, health-re profsnals are rercg visibily and margalizatn of gay and bisexual men wh prostate ncer. Keywords: gay, special populatns, bisexual, special populatns, prostate ncer, onlogy/ncer, male sex role, genr issu and sexual orientatn, masculy, genr issu and sexual orientatnProstate ncer is the send most mon ncer men and the sixth leadg e of ath ternatnally [World Cancer Rearch Fund Internatnal (WCRFI), 2015].
Although prostate ncer is more prevalent black men (1 4) aged 45 or above (Thompson, 2014), and for other ethnici aged 50 or above, there is no evince that gay or bisexual men are more specifilly at risk of velopg prostate ncer (Prostate Cancer UK, 2016). Bee of sexual and societal differenc, gay and bisexual men are likely to be affected differently all the major areas of impact, both physilly and psychologilly, than heterosexual men (Blank, 2005). A study nducted by Motofei, Rowland, Popa, Kreienkamp, and Pni (2011) asserted that gay men diagnosed wh prostate ncer were experiencg worse sexual functng and were more ncerned about their abily to mata an erectn post-prostate ncer treatment than their heterosexual unterparts.

Equally, Prostate Cancer UK (2016) reported that erectile dysfunctn (ED) n be a e for ncern for gay or bisexual men who are normally the sertive partner (top) durg sexual terurse. Gay or bisexual men who are the receptive partner (bottom) durg anal sex may receive pleasure om the penis bbg agast their prostate (Prostate Cancer UK, 2016). In addn, external beam radiatn n have a trimental effect on a gay man’s abily to have anal sex (Goldstone, 2005).
(2016a), gay and bisexual men appeared to be screened for prostate ncer ls than heterosexual men, are diagnosed wh prostate ncer at a siar rate, but have poorer sexual functn and qualy-of-life out. While gay and bisexual men may experience siar challeng to that of heterosexual men followg treatment, their sexual ntext is different and their treatment out were found to be worse (Simon Rosser et al., 2016a), wh lower mental health functng and a greater fear of ncer recurrence, thereby affectg their qualy of life (Hart et al., 2014). Wassersug, Lyons, Dunn, Dowsett, and Pts (2013) discerned that there were no signifint differenc between gay men and heterosexual men receivg different treatment modali or experiencg ED; however, gay men reported that they were bothered by their abily to ejaculate and this si-effect was emed more of a problem to this group of men than their heterosexual unterparts.
(2016) poss that gay men have greater unmet psychologil and supportive re needs than their heterosexual unterparts. The thors state that a number of psychologil terventns have been veloped for heterosexual men to addrs their ncerns; however, there is an absence of specific terventns to addrs the needs of gay men thereby creatg this equy treatment. This study further asserts that there are differenc psychologil, sexual, and physil treatment between gay men and heterosexual men and that this visibily should be addrsed the prostate ncer rearch and re field.
