    About the Webinar: 

    Cancer and its treatment can significantly impact a person's sexual health, body image, and intimate relationships. This presentation explores the physical, emotional, and psychological effects of cancer on sexuality, offering evidence-based treatment options and guidance for patients, partners, and healthcare providers.

    Learning Objectives: 

    1. Describe how various cancers (e.g., breast, prostate, gynecological) and their treatments affect sexual function and intimacy.
    2. Discuss the physical, psychological, and emotional consequences of cancer on sexuality.
    3. List common sexual dysfunctions related to cancer and cancer treatments (e.g., dyspareunia, erectile dysfunction, loss of libido, body image issues).
    4. Identify strategies to initiate and sustain conversations about sexuality with cancer patients and their partners.
    5. Review evidence-based interventions for managing sexual dysfunction (e.g., medications, pelvic floor therapy, counseling).
