Sexual rehabilitation of gynecologic cancer patients.
The gynecologic oncologist's obligation encompasses more than cure or successful palliation of pelvic malignancy. The sexual rehabilitation of such patients is vital and must be done sensitively lest one's own concepts of "adequate sexuality" be imposed. Instruction in coital technics and alternative modes of sexual expression can be provided simply and effectively.
