Sexual Health, Fertility, and Relationships in Cancer Care provides clinical management guidelines for the impact of cancer and oncology treatments on sexual health, fertility and relationships. Employing a practical toolkit format, this volume addresses a spectrum of key topics including: provision of onco-fertility and sexual health support, LGBTQ+ issues, support for adolescents and young people, effective psycho-educational/psycho-sexual interventions, and managing relationships for individuals and couples.

Part of the Psycho-oncology Care: Companion Guides for Clinicians series, this concise pocket guide is an ideal resource for cancer medical specialists, psycho-oncologists in training, specialist nurses/nurse consultants, and allied health professionals to use as a quick reference in everyday practice. Pitched at intermediate to advanced level skills, this companion guide can be used as a standalone, or alongside existing oncology and psycho-oncology training programs.
