Pelvic floor dysfunction among cervical cancer survivors

Cervical cancer (CC) survivors are at risk of long-term side effects from their cancer therapy. Pelvic surgery and pelvic radiation can both cause changes to the vasculature and innervation of the pelvis, leading to pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD). PFD includes bladder, bowel, or sexual side effects, all of which negatively impact QOL for women. The primary goal of this study is to evaluate PFD among CC survivors, which has not been well-described in the literature to date.
