Objetivo: O intuito deste trabalho foi investigar a função sexual e a qualidade de vida das mulheres sobreviventes do câncer de mama. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo de corte transversal, incluindo 36 mulheres submetidas à cirurgia de câncer de mama (17 mastectomias e 19 quadrantectomias), sexualmente ativas, em tratamento hormonioterápico, com idade entre 37 e 60 anos. O instrumento utilizado para avaliar a função sexual foi o Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) e, para a qualidade de vida, o European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30). Resultados: Neste estudo, 61,1% das mulheres apresentaram disfunção sexual. Em relação à qualidade de vida, mulheres mais jovens foram mais impactadas em sua capacidade funcional (p=0,049). Conclusão: A prevalência de disfunção sexual é elevada nas mulheres sobreviventes do câncer de mama, destacando-se o desejo hipoativo e a dispareunia. Em relação à qualidade de vida, foi observado mais prejuízo da capacidade funcional nas mulheres jovens. PALAVRAS-CHAVE:Câncer de mama; qualidade de vida; sexualidade; mastectomia.
