A review of the literature from 1953-1981 about breast cancer and sexual functioning is presented with an emphasis on the reported research in this field. Based on the literature there is evidence to suggest that women with breast cancer are at risk for developing sexual difficulties as a result of their illness and its subsequent treatment. The existing research indicates that the study of breast cancer and sexual functioning is in its infancy. Most of the research is found to be lacking in an appreciation for the complexity of variables which may contribute to sexual difficulties in this population. An outline of such variables, which are drawn from patient, partner and health provider sources, is presented. Particular attention is given to the effect of treatment upon the patient's ability to maintain her previous level of sexual functioning. Implications for future research are given throughout the discussions of those variables and throughout critiques of the previous studies.
本文综述了1953年至1981年间关于乳腺癌与性功能的文献，重点介绍了该领域已报道的研究。基于这些文献，有证据表明乳腺癌女性因疾病及其后续治疗而面临出现性功能障碍的风险。现有研究表明，乳腺癌与性功能的研究尚处于起步阶段。大多数研究未能充分认识到可能导致该人群性功能障碍的各种变量的复杂性。本文列出了从患者、伴侣及医疗服务提供者方面得出的此类变量概要。特别关注了治疗对患者维持以往性功能水平能力的影响。在对这些变量的讨论以及对先前研究的批评过程中，均阐述了对未来研究的启示。
