ESense-Cancer: Adapting an Online Intervention for Sexual Health Concerns to Gynecologic Cancer

Gynecologic Cancers

Sexual health is a vital component of gynecologic cancer treatment and survivorship. Unfortunately, most gynecologic cancer survivors lack sufficient information about the impact of cancer on sexual health and treatment opportunities. This research aims to assess how well an adapted online health intervention meets the sexual health needs of gynecologic cancer survivors and to test the efficacy of the new platform. If successful, eSense-Cancer may increase access to treatment for gynecologic cancer survivors, including those living in remote areas or facing other accessibility barriers. It may also fill healthcare gaps for survivors of varying ethnicity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and gender.
