Quality of life and sexuality among women with breast cancer: the impact of surgery and hormonotherapy

  • Published:
Psycho-Oncologie

Résumé

Cette recherche a pour but d’étudier l’impact de la chirurgie (tumorectomie vs mastectomie) et de l’hormonothérapie sur la qualité de vie et la sexualité des femmes atteintes d’un cancer du sein. Les résultats vont dans le sens d’une absence de différence significative entre les deux types de chirurgies. Les résultats sont plus nuancés concernant l’impact de l’hormonothérapie, les patientes se distinguant sur plusieurs critères. Ces informations peuvent avoir des implications en termes de prise en compte de la qualité de vie et de la sexualité dans les interventions psychosociales.

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to study the impact of surgery (tumorectomy vs mastectomy) and of hormonotherapy on the quality of life and sexuality of women with breast cancer. Results indicate that there is no significant difference between the two types of surgery. Findings are less clear-cut, however, regarding the impact of hormonotherapy as patients can be distinguished according to several criteria. This information may have implications when considering a patient’s quality of life and sexuality in psychosocial interventions.
