Long-term sexual function in survivors of vulvar cancer: a cross-sectional study.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVES:To assess sexual function of vulvar cancer survivors who received extensive and less extensive treatment. To explore associations between sexual function and patient, disease, treatment, and psychological variables. METHODS:Sexual function (Female Sexual Function Index, FSFI), mental and physical well-being (SF36 Health Survey), body image (Body Image Scale), and optimism (Life Orientation Test) were assessed in vulvar cancer survivors treated in the period January 1997-January 2007. Demographic, disease and treatment characteristics were collected from medical files. Radical local excision with inguinal lymph node dissection and radical vulvectomy were considered extensive treatments; radical local excision, with or without sentinel node dissection, was considered less extensive treatment. Univariate and multivariate linear regression analyses were performed. RESULTS:Of 120 eligible patients, 76 (63%) responded. Eighteen women with a male partner (43%) reported having sexual intercourse. FSFI domain scores did not differ between extensively and less extensively treated women. Age was negatively associated with "Arousal" and "Desire", having a partner was positively associated with "Satisfaction", and optimism and physical well-being were positively associated with "Desire" and "Orgasm". Adjuvant inguinal radiotherapy was negatively associated with "Orgasm". One woman reported having better sexual function after than before treatment, 50% reported a similar sexual function, and 42% a worse sexual function. CONCLUSIONS:43% of women who survived vulvar cancer and who had a male partner were sexually active. Treatment-related variables had a limited influence on long-term sexual function in these patients. Having a partner, good physical well-being, and being optimistic were positively associated with sexual function.
