- Abstract:
- Seventy-two patients with cervical cancer (n = 24), ovarian cancer (n = 24), or no disease (n = 24) were questioned about sexual activity and personal relationships. The interviews were conducted in a semistandardized fashion according to the Tübingen Sexual Therapy Scale. Patients with invasive cervical cancer did not have a larger number of sexual partners, an earlier age of first intercourse, greater sexual activity or less stable relationships than patients with ovarian cancer of healthy women. There was no statistical difference among the groups with regard to the relationships. However, patients with cervical cancer reported greater degrees of satisfaction with both sexuality and relationships.
