description

Cancer as a special topic in the senior group is not much discussed in the professional literature, and the same goes for sexuality in old age. That apparent accumulation of taboos does not offer justice to the reality of many aging patients and their partners. There are several arguments to pay proper attention to sexuality in the group of aging cancer patients.
