Sexual Health and Intimacy in Colorectal Cancer Care

In this episode of Caring and Sharing – the Advanced Oncology
Podcast, host Uta Schmidt Strassburger speaks with Professor
Gabriëlle Van Ramshorst, a surgeon and researcher at Ghent
University Hospital, about the often-overlooked topic of sexual
health in colorectal cancer survivors. They explore the
challenges patients face in discussing intimacy, the barriers
healthcare providers encounter, and the importance of education
in addressing these sensitive issues. From fertility preservation
and gender disparities in caregiving to the unique concerns of
LGBTQ+ patients, this insightful conversation highlights the need
for open, compassionate communication and better support systems
in oncology care.
