Helping Cancer Patients with Quality of Life Issues Post Hysterectomy

Host: Leslie P. Lundt, MD Guest: Lori Brotto, PhD Treatment of early-stage cervical and endometrial cancer is associated with significant sexual difficulties in at least half of women following hysterectomy. The success in treating these cancers has resulted in a focus on quality of life issues during remission. What can we do to help these women? Host Dr. Leslie Lundt welcomes Dr. Lori Brotto, assistant professor in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and director of the Sexual Health Laboratory at the University of British Columbia where her research primarily focuses on developing and testing psychological and psychoeducational interventions for women with sexual desire and arousal difficulties.
