“…1,23,25 One recent study of 295 women, using an unvalidated survey, noted nonresponse rates of 51% to 61% for sexual function domains but lower nonresponse rates (34%-36%) for urinary function questions, highlighting specific avoidance of sexual function questions. 48 Among the studies included in this review, female response rates of less than 50% were common. 1,15,23,28 Identifying methods for improving response rates and defining sexual function and satisfaction is imperative for future study.…”

Sexual function is one element of QOL that may be significantly altered following treatment for rectal cancer, but the incidence and contributing risk factors are generally poorly understood. Nevertheless, the impact of rectal cancer therapy on sexual function should be conveyed to patients preoperatively. In addition to helping patients evolve realistic expectations, it will help clinicians identify those for whom interventions may be appropriate. In the past 10 years, there has been an increase in the number of studies reporting sexual dysfunction following rectal cancer treatment. However, these studies are difficult to interpret collectively for a variety of reasons. Most importantly, sexual dysfunction lacks a standardized definition, which leads to poor comparability between studies. The best inclusive definitions describe sexual dysfunction as a collection of distinct symptoms, which differ for men and women. The absence of sexual activity is sometimes used as a surrogate for sexual dysfunction, but this is confounded by an individual's desire and opportunity for sexual activity, and may not be an accurate reflection of physiologic functionality. Additional factors complicating assimilation of studies include the absence of baseline data, missing data, small sample sizes, and heterogeneity in use of validated and nonvalidated instruments. The purpose of this article is to systematically review the contemporary literature reporting sexual function after rectal surgery to determine the overall risk of sexual dysfunction, evaluate possible contributing factors, and identify questions that should be addressed in future studies.

“…En esta población los datos están indeterminados y abre un nuevo camino de estudio (Andersen, 1985). Un estudio prospectivo publicado por Tekkis et al (2009) con 295 mujeres afectadas de cáncer colorrectal, utilizando instrumentos de medida psicológicos no validados obtuvo información sobre función sexual de las pacientes sometidas a cirugía para un cáncer rectal. Encontraron que la resección abdominoperineal, radioterapia, sepsis intrabdominal y la edad (mayores de 65 años) fueron predictores de una pobre función sexual después de la intervención.…”

“…En el caso de mujeres recibiendo tratamiento oncológico, fuentes importantes de identidad femenina (la melena, las mamas, etc) pueden verse alteradas o extirpadas, lo cual puede producir un elevado distress y una sensación significativa de insatisfacción con su propio cuerpo (Ashing-Giwa et al, 2004). Igualmente, se ha observado que mujeres que se someten a resecciones abdominoperineales reportan peor imagen corporal que los varones, y menor actividad sexual que estos después de la cirugía (Tekkis et al, 2009). Una imagen corporal más negativa en mujeres que en varones con cáncer se han visto documentada en otros estudios (Krok, Baker y McMillan, 2013), con casi el 90% de mujeres reportando preocupaciones significativas con su peso (Cash, Melnyk y Hrabosky, 2004).…”

RESUMEN: Las diferencias en los aspectos psicosociales de diferentes tipos de cáncer en hombres y mujeres están basadas fundamentalmente en variables de género. Sin embargo, la forma concreta en la que influye el género en la adaptación al cáncer no está del todo definida, y desde luego, muy poco estudiada. Las diferencias de género no solo son evidentes en el impacto físico del cáncer sino también en la calidad de vida, en las diferencias psicosociales, en los estilos de afrontamiento y en la adaptación de las parejas de los pacientes al proceso de enfermedad. Es necesario identificar con más detalle las necesidades psicosociales específicas de la mujer con el fin de poder desarrollar programas concretos que tengan en cuenta las diferencias de género en el afrontamiento de la enfermedad oncológica, en el proceso de toma de decisiones médicas, y en las variables necesarias para la optimización de su calidad de vida.PALABRAS CLAVE: afrontamiento; imagen corporal; maternidad; sexualidad.ABSTRACT: The differences in the psychosocial aspects of different types of cancer in men and women are mainly based on gender variables. However, the specific way in which gender influences adaptation to cancer is not completely defined and it has also been very poorly studied. Gender differences are not only evident in the physical impact of cancer, but also in quality of life, in the psychosocial differences, in the confronting styles and in the adaptation of the patient's partners to the process of the disease. It is necessary to identify women's specific psychosocial needs in more detail in order to be able to develop specific programs which keep in mind the gender differences in the way oncologic disease is confronted, as well as in the process of making clinical decisions and in the variables required to optimise their quality of life.
