Male “genital” or “reproductive” tumors, such as prostate, penile, and testicular tumors, clearly appear to affect sexual function. However, tumors that do not involve genital parts of the body, such as the bladder and kidney, can also affect male sexual function. Conclusion: Male sexual dysfunction is very common after urologic cancer diagnosis and treatment. Changes in body image and anatomical damage can be associated with impaired masculinity and sexual function, especially after prostate, penile or testicular cancer treatment. Moreover, anxiety, depression, and fear of recurrence have an impact on quality of life and sexual function regardless of the cancer location. Therefore, patients need be counseled about the likely changes in sexual function before treatment of any urological cancer.  \nARTICLE INFO  \n Luciano A.

Moreover, the fear of death, along with psychological and social factors, often deeply affects the quality of life of cancer patients (1) .  \nTreatment of urological cancers can have especially significant impacts on sexual function, body image, well-being, and mental health (2, 3) . Most studies of male sexual dysfunction after urologic cancer focus on prostate cancer (PCa) survival after surgical and hormonal treatments (4, 5) . However, cancers that do not involve parts of the  \nbody designated as ‘‘sexual’’ or ‘‘reproductive’’, such as kidney (KC) and bladder cancer (BC), can also affect sexuality independent of the treatment, and their relation to sexual function is poorly understood (6, 7) .  \nSexual function is a critical quality-of-life predictor and, as such, should be addressed during the treatment of all urological malignancies (8) . Professionals working in this field should be aware of the impact of cancer on male sexuality. Therefore, it is important to address these topics in theurological literature. In this review, we describe the most common sexual problems and changes experienced by male urological cancer survivors, focusing on evidence-based practices for assessment and intervention.  \nMATERIAL AND METHODS  \nWe analyzed published papers contained in the PubMed, Embase, and SciELO databases between 1994 and 2022, searching by the following key expressions: ","cbCaisoBAJ93Yc7o","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisoBAJ93Yc7o","pdf",162164,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n# Materials and Methods\n# Results\n## Prostate cancer (PCa)\n# Article Info\n# Keywords","[{\"question\":\"What is the review’s main objective?\",\"answer\":\"To describe the most common sexual problems and changes experienced by male urological cancer survivors, with an emphasis on evidence-based assessment and intervention.\"},{\"question\":\"Which urological cancers are linked to changes in male sexual function?\",\"answer\":\"The review highlights that genital/reproductive tumors (prostate, penile, and testicular cancers) affect sexual function, while bladder and kidney cancers can also impact sexuality.\"},{\"question\":\"How do psychological factors affect sexual function after urologic cancer?\",\"answer\":\"Anxiety, depression, and fear of recurrence can influence quality of life and sexual function regardless of cancer location.\"}]","Changes in male sexuality after urologic cancer - a narrative review | PDF",1790227707,23]
