“…Young women with breast cancer need support, especially peer support [24,26,37] and on-going support for life after treatment [22,26,40]. Single women need support, both in terms of dating and talking to new partners about the cancer [26,34].…”

“…A lack of information is perceived on a range of issues. In particular, information about reproductive issues is needed, ranging from information about potential infertility to information about contraception and pregnancy after cancer [20,21,[23][24][25][26][27]29,30,40]. Health-care professionals need to engage more with reproductive and fertility-related concerns.…”

“…Health-care professionals need to engage more with reproductive and fertility-related concerns. More information about the potential impact of the cancer on sexuality is needed-in particular, information on treatment side effects and the emotional consequences of having breast cancer [24][25][26]34,36,38,40].…”

The experiences, needs and concerns of younger women with breast cancer: a meta‐ethnography

et al. 2011

Objective: This meta-ethnography synthesises the evidence on the experiences, needs and concerns of younger women with breast cancer.Methods: Using a method called 'reciprocal translation' we developed a conceptual model to reflect the local and social contexts, issues, processes, needs and concerns of importance in this literature.Findings: Key findings relate to the particular point in the life-course at which young women with breast cancer stand. Issues for these women relate to feeling different as a result of cancer, fear of recurrence, feeling 'out of sync' and altered embodied subjectivity. Young women with breast cancer use three processes to integrate the changes that cancer brings, namely, balancing, normalising and changing. Our conceptual model also highlights young women's needs, primarily for support, information, childcare, counselling and spiritual support. Areas of reproduction, fertility and sexuality were also of particular concern. The included papers have methodological limitations that impact on our findings, such as opportunistic data analyses, lack of theoretical frameworks and limited reference to socio-cultural factors.Conclusion: The conceptual model developed as a result of this meta-ethnography provides a basis for practitioners to address these young women's concerns more adequately and comprehensively.

“…Esses resultados foram relatados por Zee e colaboradores (2008) A menopausa induzida pela quimioterapia pode ser um fator especialmente prejudicial para mulheres jovens, uma vez que possíveis planos de maternidade são modificados, além de induzir mudanças na função sexual. Alguns estudos investigaram correlações entre a menopausa, seja ela natural ou induzida, e a piora da vivência sexual (Berglund e col., 2001;Greendale e col., 2001;Knobf, 2001;Avis e col., 2004;Beckjord e Campas, 2007;Biglia e col., 2010).…”

ResumoO objetivo deste estudo foi compreender como o cân-cer de mama e seus tratamentos afetam a vivência da sexualidade da mulher acometida. Foi realizada uma revisão sistemática qualitativa de artigos científicos, publicados entre 2000 e 2010, disponíveis nas bases de dados PubMed, Web of Science, LILACS e SciELO. Foram obtidos 50 artigos cujos textos foram categorizados segundo análise de conteúdo temática. Foram identificadas seis categorias temá-ticas: a cirurgia mamária e os demais tratamentos para o câncer de mama; a experiência da mulher acometida; o relacionamento afetivo-sexual; estudos sobre relação entre sexualidade e características específicas do câncer; os profissionais de saúde e a atenção à sexualidade; e propostas para amenizar as consequências negativas dos tratamentos na sexualidade. Há necessidade de novos estudos a respeito dos aspectos culturais da sexualidade, diversidade sexual, relacionamento com o parceiro, formação do profissional de saúde e intervenções em sexualidade no contexto do câncer de mama.
