Interventions to Improve Sexual Health in Women Living with and Surviving Cancer: Review and Recommendations

​
Sexual health, both physical and psychological, is a common concern and unmet need among women with and surviving cancer. To guide clinical care and future research to improve sexual function and satisfaction in women with cancer, we performed a narrative review of interventions for sexual health concerns including sexual function, body image, genitourinary symptoms, and hot flashes. Relevant investigations conducted in the US and abroad published between 2005 and 2020 were reviewed (n = 91). Recommendations for future research in this area are also offered
