The purpose of the protocol, is to assess the feasibility of conducting a larger trial to evaluate the effect of a psychological intervention on the well-being of patients on luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) analogs in the treatment of prostate cancer and their partners.

Evaluation of the Effect of Psycho-oncological Intervention on Well-being of Patients With Advanced Prostate Cancer on LHRH Analogs and Their Partners. A Randomized Controlled Pilot Study.

Determined by achievement of all of the following:

* Number of participants (couples) recruited in 18 months in the participating centres. Achieved by recruitment of 50 couples.
* Number of participants (couples) informed personally about the study consent to participate. To be achieved by 20% of couples.
* Number of participants in group 1 that attend at least 70% of the sessions. To be achieved by 80% of participants.

Improved - Group 1 improve more than group 2 on at least one of the outcome measures (includes HADS, EORTC QLQ-C30 or Maudsley Marital Questionnaire).

Background: A recent systematic review showed that patients undergoing esophagectomy for cancer had scores of physical function, vitality and performance of health in general significantly lower than those obtained from the reference population. The analysis of the quality of life at six months follow-up showed that the total score and physical function were better before surgery and symptoms-based scales indicated that the fatigue, dyspnoea and diarrhea were worse six months after esophagectomy. The objective of this study is therefore to assess the impact of esophageal resections for cancer on the quality of life of patients and to improve it through simple interventions of post operative care.

The study is divided into two steps.

This is step 1.

Patients will be randomized into four groups receiving respectively: psychological counseling for support plus appropriate measures to reduce sleep-wake rhythm disorders during ICU stay; psychological counseling alone; appropriate measures to reduce sleep-wake rhythm disorders during ICU stay alone; or standard care. The primary end point are the items SL (sleep disorder) and QL2 of the QLQ C30, and the secondary end point is the score of the PSQI.
