The management of sexual problems in cancer patients. Sexual dysfunction is one of the most common and distressing consequences of cancer treatment. Many survivors face long-term effects such as treatment-induced menopause, altered gonadal function, and significant surgical disfigurement but some treatment-related sexual adverse effects are short-term. Many survivors do not feel prepared for potential sexual changes and often do not receive adequate support to manage sexual dysfunction. A concise review of the most common sexual problems experienced by cancer patients is presented together with the main evidence based interventions to suggest to address sexual dysfunction.

The management of sexual problems in cancer patients. Sexual dysfunction is one of the most common and distressing consequences of cancer treatment. Many survivors face long-term effects such as treatment-induced menopause, altered gonadal function, and significant surgical disfigurement but some treatment-related sexual adverse effects are short-term. Many survivors do not feel prepared for potential sexual changes and often do not receive adequate support to manage sexual dysfunction.
