Summary

This study follows 200 women with gynecologic cancer and their partners to see how sexual function changes over time. Researchers use questionnaires at diagnosis, 6 months, and 12 months after treatment. The goal is to understand when sexual counseling might be most helpful, without changing standard medical care.
