结肠直肠癌(CRC)造口幸存者可能面临有关性取向的复杂担忧。我们从人类学的角度研究了30名女性CRC幸存者的造口经历，以阐明癌症手术和治疗后的性挑战和适应。参与者根据她们手术后的性经历分为四类；然而，并不是所有的女性都发现她们改变的性取向特别有问题。这种现象学检查可以为评估和改善癌症幸存者的性健康提供更多以患者为中心，而不是以生物医学为重点的范例。
Colorectal cancer (CRC) survivors with ostomies can face complex concerns regarding sexuality. We used an anthropological perspective to examine the experiences of 30 female CRC survivors with ostomies to shed light on the sexual challenges and adaptations made in the wake of cancer surgery and treatment. Participants fell into four categories with regard to their sexual experience post surgery; however, not all women found their altered sexuality to be particularly problematic. This type of phenomenological examination can inform a more patient centered, less biomedically focused paradigm for assessing and improving the sexual health of cancer survivors.
