Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews Protocol - Intervention

Interventions for sexual dysfunction following treatments for cancer

This is not the most recent version

Abstract

This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (Intervention). The objectives are as follows:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of interventions (psychological, pharmacological, mechanical or complementary) for SD following treatments for cancer.

  • To assess adverse events associated with therapy.

Preventative measures such as nerve‐sparing surgical techniques, breast reconstruction, or avoidance of one particular therapy if an alternative cancer therapy produces equally good results and less SD, will not be included as these are not treatments specifically for SD.
