Psychosexual issues: the woman with gynecologic cancer.
Psychosexual concerns often confront women with a diagnosis of gynecologic cancer. These concerns can be physiologic or psychological in origin. Oncology nurses are in a key position to assess these potential or actual sexual problems. Interventions can be designed to prevent or minimize the adverse sexual sequelae often associated with this group of diseases. A strong knowledge base and comfort with the topic of sexuality are of utmost importance.
