Cancer and Sexual Health is a comprehensive reference that addresses the often-overlooked link between cancer treatment and its effects on sexual and reproductive health. Edited by renowned experts Dr. John P. Mulhall, Dr. Luca Incrocci, Dr. Irwin Goldstein, and Dr. Ray Rosen, this volume provides an in-depth review of the sexual and reproductive consequences of cancer diagnosis and treatment.
Many physicians and cancer caregivers may not be fully aware of the impact that cancer therapies can have on a patient’s sexual function and reproductive life, nor are they always knowledgeable about the treatment options available to address these issues. This book fills that critical gap by offering state-of-the-art information and practical guidance.
By covering both physiological and psychological aspects, the book serves as an invaluable resource for clinicians caring for cancer patients, as well as a reference text for sexual medicine practitioners who may not frequently encounter cancer patients.
