“…Although the interventions in the literature were directed at the couple, the expert panel believes that individual psychosocial counselling would still be helpful for a woman with body image issues. The evidence base for this recommendation consists of seven publications of moderate quality 30,31,[35][36][37][38][39] .…”

“…The current evidence does not support a specific psychosocial counselling intervention to improve sexual functioning and satisfaction. The evidence base for this recommendation consists of sixteen publications of moderate quality [31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46] and four systematic reviews [14][15][16][17] . …”

“…First, physical therapists should assess pelvic loor muscle strength as gynecologic cancers have urinary incontinence after the treatment [34,35]. Second, physical therapists should assess ICF category: lower extremities such as hip, knee, and ankle ROM; MMT; assessment of pain levels; fatigue; upper limb volume; locomotion ability such as gait speed; balance function; QOL; ADL; and sexual function [36].…”

Physical therapists often treat cancer patients. Cancer treatment includes chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgery, which are being continuously developed and thus increase survival of patients with each cancer diagnosis. More speciically, 5-year survival rates increase with each cancer diagnosis. Cancer patients have many problems including muscle weakness, pulmonary dysfunction, fatigue, and pain. In the end, patients with cancer tend to have a decline in activities of daily living (ADL) and quality of life (QOL). Additionally, cancer patients often have progressive disease, depression, and anxiety. Physical therapy often helps patients regain strength and physical function and improve their QOL and independence of daily living that they may have lost due to cancer or its treatment. Physical therapy has an important role in increasing physical function of cancer patients, cancer survivors, and children with cancer. In the future, physical therapy may be progressively needed for management of cancer patients.

“…Recently, trials have been initiated to identify better treatment options for pelvic floor dysfunctions in women after gynecological cancer treatment. These studies reported, after intensive pelvic floor muscle rehabilitation, decreased urinary incontinence, decreased sexual dysfunctions, and improved quality of life, without adverse effects [16,17]. From instructing how to correctly contract the pelvic floor muscles and do the home exercises, to one-on-one biofeedback training sessions, pelvic floor physiotherapists played a crucial role in the rehabilitation process in these studies.…”

Effects of radiation therapy on the structure and function of the pelvic floor muscles of patients with cancer in the pelvic area: a systematic review

et al. 2015

PurposeRadiation therapy (RT) is often recommended in the treatment of pelvic cancers. Following RT, a high prevalence of pelvic floor dysfunctions (urinary incontinence, dyspareunia, and fecal incontinence) is reported. However, changes in pelvic floor muscles (PFMs) after RT remain unclear. The purpose of this review was to systematically document the effects of RT on the PFM structure and function in patients with cancer in the pelvic area.
