Although quality of life (QOL) is an important endpoint of interest in most oncological treatments, sexual QOL of cancer patients is less emphasized upon. With an increase in the survival rates of cancer patients with time, besides other QOL-defining parameters, sexual QOL should also be taken into consideration. The article throws light upon this less talked about area in oncology, various reasons for its non-implementation, its need in routine practice, steps for improvement, and a multidisciplinary approach to provide better sexual QOL to our patients.
尽管生活质量（QOL）是大多数肿瘤治疗中一个重要的关注终点，但癌症患者的性生活质量却较少受到重视。随着癌症患者生存率随时间增加，除了其他定义生活质量的参数外，性生活质量也应得到考虑。本文阐述了肿瘤学中这个较少被提及的领域、其未得到落实的各种原因、在常规实践中的必要性、改善措施，以及采用多学科方法为患者提供更好的性生活质量。
