Dendritic cells: sentinels of immunity and tolerance.

abstract：:McKee and Schover have suggested that sexuality is an aspect of intimacy that is frequently compromised by cancer and its treatments. Cancer, both in terms of diagnosis and treatments, may have a dramatic impact on both intimacy and sexuality. There is a body of published research addressing sexual concerns among pati...
