Knowledge, practice and communication barriers for oncology doctors in Chile when addressing the sexuality of their patients

CONCLUSION: The results of this study show that, despite oncology doctors seeing sexuality as an important aspect of the quality of life of their patients, they do not include the topic in clinical care. Given that one of the main barriers is obstacles relating to the institution, it is necessary to create political institutions that create the conditions for including this area as a relevant part of cancer patient care.PMID:38439800 | PMC:PMC10911666 | DOI:10.3332/ecancer.2024.1665
