Communication Between Japanese Patients With Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer and Healthcare Providers on Sexual Health After Risk‐Reducing Bilateral Salpingo‐Oophorectomy

In Japan, some patients may face challenges in directly communicating with HCPs, highlighting the value of pamphlets and digital resources.
