Cochrane Collaboration review/commentaries: Interventions for psychosexual dysfunction in women treated for gyn malignancy

Comments from Clinical Raters
Gynecology A very useful review that confirms the need for proper randomised studies to answer this important question. My misgivings on the apparent lumping of all gynaecological malignancies together is that it creates an obviously flawed impression that sexual problems after treatment of gynaecological cancer of any kind might have a common solution.
Oncology - General I was surprised to find that there was any evidence at all from randomised studies that addressed questions in this important area. The authors rightly draw attention to the paucity of evidence and its poor quality. As interest increases in what is now called cancer survivorship, we can anticipate an increasing need for solid evidence on which to base management for the complex difficulties experienced by patients successfully treated for cancer. This paper indicates that it is not going to be easy to assemble the necessary evidence.
