Sexual Health and Menopause Concerns: Helping Cancer Survivors with Quality of Life

Ames, IA US
March 25, 2015

Mary Greeley Medical Center Grand Rounds is a multi-disciplinary clinical activity which serves to maintain, develop, or increase the knowledge, skills, and professional performance and relationships that a physician uses to provide services for patients, the public or the profession.  

Target Audience

Physicians, mid-level providers, nurses and healthcare administrators.

Professional Practice Gaps

Cancer and cancer treatment can have a significant negative impact on sexual function. There are treatments available to help mitigate these adverse effects. Patients with cancer want to be able to discuss their sexual health concerns with their medical teams and believe their providers should initiate the topic. However, more often than not, this discussion never happens.

Learning Objectives

  1. Review sexual health concerns of cancer survivors.
  2. Explain the importance of intimacy during cancer treatment.
  3. Describe treatment for cancer-related sexual health cancers.
  4. List treatments for menopause in the setting of cancer.
