Summary

This study is testing SHAReClinic, a national virtual clinic that provides sexual health education and counselling to prostate cancer patients and their partners. Researchers will enroll 575 people across Canada to see if the program improves sexual function, reduces distress, and boosts relationship intimacy. The goal is to make sexual rehabilitation more accessible and create a standard for survivorship care.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
virtual sexual health and rehabilitation eClinic (SHAReClinic) with guided education modules and sexual health counselling
What this could lead to
If successful, this could establish a national virtual care model that improves sexual function, satisfaction, and intimacy for prostate cancer survivors and their partners.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a controlled trial, so it cannot prove cause and effect. Results may vary across sites, and improvements may be modest or not sustained long-term.
