PY - 2016 T2 - MD Anderson Manual of Psychosocial Oncology AB - While living with cancer, a person experiences numerous assaults on his or her quality of life. One of these is to a person's sexuality. It is important to remember that the sexual dysfunction is not limited to treatment changes in organs associated with sexual response.1 Treatments and/or the disease itself can cause changes in sexuality, but health care providers rarely ask about sexuality issues because of concepts about the importance of sexuality in the context of the disease.2 This causes patients to think they are the only ones with sexuality issues since they are asked about other intimate issues such as bowel and bladder habits, but not sexuality issues.
