Summary
This study aims to identify which of four French-validated questionnaires is most suitable for assessing sexual function in women who have had surgery for rectal or recto-sigmoid cancer. Researchers will ask 50 women to complete all four questionnaires and rank their preferences. The goal is to improve how doctors evaluate and discuss sexual quality of life during follow-up care.
