Abstract
The emotional as well as the physical impact of gynecologic cancer may be particularly felt in the area of sexual attitudes and behavior. Women newly diagnosed with gynecologic cancer were interviewed regarding their sexual behavior prior to diagnosis and treatment and how their activities changed after diagnosis. A significant decrease in sexual activity and satisfaction was reported. These findings can be used as a guideline for counseling the women with gynecologic cancer in conjunction with her partner.
