Introduction: Sexual dysfunction refers to sexual desire disorders and psychosocial changes, which can impact one’s sexual response cycle and cause stress and interpersonal difficulties. Treatment modality is one of the most important predictive factors for sexual dysfunction and varies depending on the type of malignancy.
