2026 Conference Highlights
Why This Matters for Cancer Survivors
Cancer treatment saves lives, but it often dramatically impacts sexual health through:
-
Surgical changes affecting pelvic floor function and sensation
-
Chemotherapy-induced menopause and hormonal disruption
-
Radiation effects on sexual function and vaginal health
-
Psychological trauma affecting intimacy and body image
-
Partner relationship challenges during cancer recovery
Women deserve comprehensive support for all aspects of their health and wellbeing - including sexual health and pleasure - throughout their cancer survivorship journey.
