The sexual concerns of patients with cancer may be overlooked during the acute stage of illness. Both the general stress of hospitalization and the specific threat of surgery can affect sexuality. Breast cancer and cancer of the reproductive organs cause the most concern, although other tumors can be as devastating. "Ostomies" and limb amputations raise special questions, and radiation therapy affects sexual and reproductive function. Underlying depression has a profound effect.
癌症患者的性问题在疾病急性期可能会被忽视。住院带来的一般压力以及手术的特定威胁都会影响性功能。乳腺癌和生殖器官癌症引发的担忧最多，不过其他肿瘤也可能同样具有破坏性。“造口术”和肢体截肢引发了特殊问题，放射治疗会影响性功能和生殖功能。潜在的抑郁症也有深远影响。
