Heterogeneity in responses to cancer. Part II: Sexual responses.
Heterogeneity in psychosexual responses to disease-specific diagnosis is demonstrated for two groups of cancer patients with testis cancer and Hodgkin's disease who are comparable in prognosis and treatment intensity. The two groups of patients and their partners are shown to differ in their ability to recover from psychiatric problems associated with the diagnosis and/or treatment of cancer.
