Summary
Women treated for gynecological cancer frequently experience chronic pelvic pain and pelvic floor disorders. There is a growing body of evidence supporting the benefits of physiotherapy to alleviate these conditions. However, the assessment and treatment approach may vary from populations without a history of cancer.
At the end of this presentation, a question period is offered to allow participants to ask questions or present clinical cases to Marie-Pierre Cyr.
