In our study, keywords co-occurrence analysis showed that the highfrequency keywords were mainly erectile dysfunction, men, prostate cancer, quality-of-life, radical prostatectomy, sexual function, cancer, impotence, dysfunction and outcomes, etc., indicating that the research focused on the impact on ED due to various types of prostate diseases (9,11,(24)(25)(26). The majorities of these keywords were located in the middle of the network and were important as core words as they reflect the areas of interest in this field of research.…”

Shoskes et al (2011) found that men with CP/CPPS tend to have evidence of greater endothelial dysfunction and arterial stiffness.…”
