Abstract:
Sexual dysfunction is extremely common in cancer survivors. Cancer survivors are living longer, and survivorship issues like sexual functioning are now a part of routine cancer care. Oncology providers need to be as comfortable assessing and addressing these issues as they would any other aspect relating to cancer care.

This review provides an overview of sexual dysfunction pertaining to women who are survivors of cancer and articulates areas needing further research.
