Purpose of review

As the number of female cancer survivors continues to grow, there is a growing need to bridge the gap between the high rate of women's cancer-related sexual dysfunction and the lack of attention and intervention available to the majority of survivors who suffer from sexual problems. Previously identified barriers that hinder communication for providers include limited time, lack of preparation, and a lack of patient resources and access to appropriate referral sources.

Recent findings

This paper brings together a recently developed model for approaching clinical inquiry about sexual health with a brief problem checklist that has been adapted for use for female cancer survivors, as well as practical evidence-based strategies on how to address concerns identified on the checklist. Examples of patient education sheets are provided, as well as strategies for building a referral network.

Summary

By providing access to a concise and efficient tool for clinical inquiry, as well as targeted material resources and practical health-promoting strategies based on recent evidence-based findings, we hope to begin eliminating the barriers that hamper oncology providers from addressing the topic of sexual/vaginal health after cancer.

审查目的

随着女性癌症幸存者人数的持续增长，越来越需要弥合女性癌症相关性功能障碍的高比率与大多数患有性问题的幸存者缺乏关注和干预之间的差距。以前发现的阻碍提供者沟通的障碍包括时间有限，缺乏准备，以及缺乏患者资源和获得适当转诊来源的机会。

最新发现

这篇论文结合了最近开发的性健康临床调查模型和一个简短的问题清单，该清单已经被改编用于女性癌症幸存者，以及关于如何解决清单上确定的问题的实用的循证策略。提供了病人教育表格的例子，以及建立转诊网络的策略。

摘要

通过提供简明有效的临床调查工具，以及基于最新的循证发现的有针对性的物质资源和实用的健康促进战略，我们希望开始消除阻碍肿瘤学提供者解决癌症后的性/阴道健康问题的障碍。
