Comparison of sexual function in women with endometrial cancer and their partners following surgery versus surgery additional brachytherapy: a cross-sectional study from a tertiary care center
Sexual function was negatively affected in all endometrial cancer patients, with a more pronounced impact among those receiving brachytherapy and their partners. These findings highlight the need to consider sexual health in treatment planning and to implement supportive interventions such as psychosexual counseling, particularly for patients undergoing adjuvant radiotherapy.
