Purpose: Sexual quality of life (QoL) is affected during and after breast cancer (BC) treatment and is not specifically evaluated with the general health-related quality-of-life questionnaires EORTC QLQ-C30 or QLQ-BR23. A specific questionnaire, the EORTC SHQ-C22, including physical, psychological, and social aspects of sexuality, was recently developed to address this issue in cancer patients.
Methods: A prospective bicentric study was conducted to evaluate the sexual QoL of women with BC during the first year of adjuvant hormonal treatment.
Background: Malignant peritoneal mesothelioma (MPM) is a rare tumoral disease characterized by the diffuse involvement of the peritoneal serosa. The standard frontline treatment of MPM is cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) unless the peritoneal disease is considered unresectable. For unresectable patients the standard frontline treatment is a combination of cisplatin and pemetrexed but the prognosis remains ominous with only 13 months of overall survival (OS).
