Abstract

Over 74,000 US women are diagnosed annually with endometrial or cervical cancers and experience significant treatment-related difficulties with body image, sexuality, and sexuality. The aims of the research were to examine relationships among body image, sexuality, and sexual functioning, and understand women's views of these concepts. A novel theoretical framework encompassing these three concepts and contextual variables guided the research.
