Abstract: | In this chapter we provide an overview of the major sexual health issues faced by women and men coping with a cancer diagnosis/treatment, highlighting specific challenges associated with the most prevalent types of cancer and offering potential solutions. We also discuss fertility preservation, reproductive concerns, and the impact of cancer-related infertility. Finally, we provide suggestions for enhanced patient–physician communication in addressing these sexual and reproductive needs. © 2018 The American Cancer Society. All rights reserved. |
