A Multi Center Study of Sexual Toxicities After Radiotherapy (NCT05394428)

Novel Functional Anatomic and Biomarker Indices of Radiation-Induced Female Sexual Toxicities in a Multi-Center Cohort

๐ŸŸข Recruiting Interventional Protocol ๐Ÿ“Š Observational Clinical Research Sponsor: Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

The purpose of this research is to understand how radiotherapy and other cancer treatments impact sexual function in female cancer patients and to try to answer a question about why some patients who receive radiotherapy are more likely to have side effects than others. The results of this study may improve our understanding of why sexual side effects occur and in turn develop predictive models and biomarkers of sexual side effects and other side effects that may impact sexual function. The results of this study may also lead to improvements in the techniques used to deliver radiotherapy or the development of interventions that will prevent or reduce sexual side effects and improve quality of life for female patients with cancer.
