Read our Anal Cancer research guide →This research study looks at how radiotherapy (radiation treatment) for anal cancer affects women's vaginal and sexual health after treatment ends. Researchers want to understand how often vaginal narrowing or other changes happen, whether higher radiation doses cause more problems, and how these changes affect women's quality of life and intimacy. The results may help doctors better support and treat women in the future.
Women treated with radiotherapy for anal cancer sometimes develop vaginal problems that can affect sexual health and daily life, but doctors don't yet fully understand how common these problems are or how to best prevent and treat them. This study exists to fill that gap so that future patients can receive better care and support.

You will visit one of three Danish hospitals for a gynecological examination to check for vaginal changes like narrowing or scarring. You'll complete online questionnaires about your quality of life and sexual health, and answer questions about treatments you may have tried (like vaginal dilators or hormone therapy). Researchers will also review your radiotherapy scans to measure the radiation dose your vagina received. Some participants will also take part in a phone interview to discuss their experience with support and guidance after treatment.
