ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how different types of care can help improve sexual health for women who have localized breast cancer. The study compares two approaches: one where women receive ongoing, organized support from a team of specialists focused on sexual health (called oncosexological care), and another where help is available only when women ask for it. The goal is to see which method works better in enhancing sexual well-being.

To participate, women must be 18 years or older and have localized breast cancer, meaning the cancer hasn't spread far. They should be starting treatment that includes surgery and possibly other therapies like chemotherapy or hormone therapy. Unfortunately, women who have had other types of cancer recently, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have certain legal restrictions cannot join. If eligible, participants can expect to receive support and information about their sexual health throughout their treatment. This study aims to ensure that women dealing with breast cancer have the resources they need for a better quality of life.
