ABSTRACT

Objective:

To assess the pattern of sexual performance in women treated for breast cancer.

Methods:

This is a cross-sectional study on women treated for breast cancer. Inclusion criteria to have undergone the first-line therapy for cancer and the cancer not being classified as stage IV. Data on cancer were collected by the analysis of medical records. For the evaluation of sexual performance, women were submitted to individual interviews, with the application of the Quociente Sexual ­ Versão Feminina (QS­F) questionnaire. Sexual performance was classified as bad, unfavorable, regular, good, and excellent. The diagnosis of sexual dysfunction was established to women with score ≤ 60. For descriptive analyses, absolute (n) and relative (%) frequencies were performed, and for the comparison between the quantitative variables the Student's t-test was used.

Results:

31 women with a mean age of 55.2 years were included, 35% were classified as clinical stage II, 84% underwent conservative surgery, 65% underwent chemotherapy, and 80% used endocrinotherapy. Regarding sexual performance, 62% spontaneously think about sex, 35% are always interested in sex, and 51.7% have some degree of pain during intercourse. After calculating the score, it was concluded that 6.5% had bad sexual performance; 19.4%, unfavorable; 19.4%, regular; 41.9%, good; and 12.8%, excellent. The mean score was 58.7 points (standard deviation = 21.4, median of 64, minimum of 16, and maximum of 90 points), and 45.2% of women were diagnosed with sexual dysfunction. The provided treatments and the length of follow-up did not have a significant correlation with sexual performance.

Conclusion:

Most women treated for breast cancer had sexual performance classified as "good and excellent," although a significant percentage had a diagnosis of sexual dysfunction.
