title: [Sexual health management in oncology].
abstract: The cancer and its treatments have consequences on the intimacy and the sexuality of the patients and their partners. Supporting them with valid information, by spotting risk factors, warning complications, and by bringing answers to the often commonplace concerns of the patients, is an ethical duty. This intervention concerning the sexual health is collectively realized by all the healthcare professionals, in an organization of gradual answer, and benefits ideally from the clinical and educational expertise of sex therapists associated to the supporting care offer.
