ABSTRACT
Although quality of life (QOL) is an important endpoint of interest in most oncological treatments, sexual QOL of cancer patients is less emphasized upon. With an increase in the survival rates of cancer patients with time, besides other QOL-defining parameters, sexual QOL should also be taken into consideration. The article throws light upon this less talked about area in oncology, various reasons for its non-implementation, its need in routine practice, steps for improvement, and a multidisciplinary approach to provide better sexual QOL to our patients.
