Cancer Therapy's hidden toll: pelvic floor problems under the microscope
NCT ID NCT04655066
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tracks 200 women with breast or gynecological cancer to see how their cancer treatment affects bladder, bowel, and sexual function. Using questionnaires, researchers aim to identify when these problems start and what factors make them worse. The goal is to find ways to prevent or manage these side effects, improving quality of life during and after treatment.
