Abstract

Introduction: To explore the existing research on sexual health experiences of sexual and gender minority women (SGMW) post-curative cancer treatment.

Methodology: This scoping review was guided by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for scoping reviews. Four articles that focused on sexual health experiences of SGMW post-curative cancer treatment were included.

Results: Four themes were identified: (a) sexual function; (b) sexual orientation and gender identity, including disclosure and health care provider reactions; (c) relationship dynamics, such as relationship status and the quality of romantic relationships; and (d) body image.

Discussions: The findings underscore substantial challenges faced by SGMW cancer survivors in achieving optimal sexual well-being, impacting their access to post-treatment care. This study advocates for more expansive research efforts involving diverse participant cohorts, extending beyond breast cancer, to gain deeper insights into these critical issues.
