Brief Title: Study of the Prevalence of Sexual Dysfunction in Women After Rectal Cancer Surgery and Analysis of the Impact of a Sexologist Intervention
Official Title: Study of the Prevalence of Sexual Dysfunction in Women After Rectal Cancer Surgery and Analysis of the Impact of a Sexologist Intervention
Study ID: NCT05933122
Brief Summary: RectSexQoL is a study aiming at determining the prevalence of female sexual dysfunction after rectal cancer surgery. It has the goal as well to analyse the impact of an intervention given by a sexologist to such patients.
Detailed Description: The treatment of rectal cancer is multimodal combining surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Each therapeutic tool may affect the sexual life of treated patients. The incidence of sexual dysfunction in patients with rectal cancer varies according to literature from 5 to 88%. This may be due to the lack of a common definition relating to sexual dysfunction making it difficult to compare results. On the other hand, it should be noted that all of the work related to sexual dysfunction after treatment for rectal cancer is mainly interested in men. The sexual well-being of women treated for rectal cancer is based on the assessment and management of their sexual functions as well as that of their overall sexual health in a personalized manner. The establishment of a sexology consultation before and after such a surgical procedure could improve the sexual functions as well as the sexual well-being of these women. The main aim of our study is to evaluate the prevalence of sexual dysfunctions at M-1 (before treatment) in the two cohorts "here" and "elsewhere" in the context of surgery for rectal cancer in females. The second aim will be to determine the impact of sexology consultation in the cohort "here" in comparison to the standart cohort without any intervention called "elsewhere".
