Exploring sexual health in patients with cutaneous T-cell lymphoma: a mixed-methods study
Patients with cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) can experience significant impact on quality of life; however, little is known about the impact on sexual health. In this mixed-methods study of a cohort of patients with CTCL, a substantial portion met the criteria for sexual dysfunction. In qualitative interviews, patients expressed experiencing impact on sexual health across multiple domains, including physical, emotional and social.
