Sexuality in women with cancer.
There are gaps in the research regarding sexuality in women with cancer, making the interventions that are used more expert opinion rather than scientific evidence. There is a need for research about effective interventions, and there is a need to educate nurses to help change practice through communication about a topic that makes both the patient and the nurse uncomfortable.
