                                            "Many types of cancer and cancer therapies can cause sexual dysfunction. Research shows that approximately 50% of women who have been treated for breast and gynecologic cancers experience long-term sexual dysfunction. Nearly 70% of men who have been treated for prostate cancer experience long-term sexual dysfunction."

                                            Unaddressed changes in sexuality can be among the most negative influences on the social well-being of a cancer survivor.
