Help for cancer survivors with sexual difficulties: a team approach
Reflecting the approach of Dana-Farber's adult treatment centers, the Sexual Health Program delivers care with the efforts and expertise of a multidisciplinary team.
Patients typically meet with program Director Sharon Bober, PhD, and, if they are women, with gynecologist Sandy Falk, MD, who recently joined the Institute and specializes in female sexual health.
Patients may also have appointments with
- Jean Mulder, MD, an adult endocrinologist who focuses on hormonal changes after cancer treatment;
- Elizabeth Ginsburg, MD, a reproductive endocrinologist who specializes in fertility issues after cancer;
- Michael O'Leary, MD, a urologist with expertise in male sexual health.
- Veronica Sanchez-Varela, PhD, a Dana-Farber postdoctoral fellow, who is available to meet with Spanish-speaking survivors.
Bober's group also collaborates with several Dana-Farber caregivers outside the survivorship program, such as psychiatrist Susan Block, MD, who leads the Department of Psychosocial Oncology and Palliative Care.
For more information about the program or to schedule an appointment, call (617) 632-5100.
