Study of the Sexual Health of Patients Treated for Non-metastatic Breast Cancer and Followed up in the Observatory of Fertility at Jeanne de Flandre Hospital : a Prospective Monocentric Cohort With Repeated Anonymous Self-administered Questionnaires.

Study of sexual health by repeated anonymous self-administered questionnaires in patients treated for non-metastatic breast cancer and referred to Jeanne de Flandre hospital for possible preservation of their fertility. Sexual health is affected by treatments and improves after the treatments.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
variation of score FSFI (female sexual function index)
Time Frame: At 1 year after the start of chemotherapy
The FSFI score assesses female sexual functioning over the past four weeks. It is a self-evaluation by questionnaire. It consists of 19 questions with 5 or 6 possible answers per question, scored respectively from 1 to 5 and from 0 To evaluate, in women with non-metallic breast cancer followed in the Fertility Observatory at the Jeanne de Flandre Hospital, 1-year sexual health progression from chemotherapy initiation to sexual health assessment prior to cancer diagnosis announcement.
At 1 year after the start of chemotherapy

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
evolution of quality of life and psychometric factors at 1 year from the start of chemotherapy compared to the evaluation of these factors before the cancer diagnosis is announced.
Time Frame: At inclusion, at 1 year and 2 years after chemotherapy
At inclusion, at 1 year and 2 years after chemotherapy
association between psychometric factors assessed prior to cancer diagnosis and sexual health progression at 1 year of chemotherapy initiation
Time Frame: At inclusion, at 1 year and 2 years after chemotherapy
At inclusion, at 1 year and 2 years after chemotherapy
correlation between quality of life and psychometric factors and the assessment of sexual health of patients measured at all times.
Time Frame: At inclusion, at 1 year and 2 years after chemotherapy
At inclusion, at 1 year and 2 years after chemotherapy
describe partners' sexual health by MSHQ (man)/FSFI (woman) during follow-up
Time Frame: At inclusion, at chemotherapy course n°4, at chemotherapy course n°6, at 3 months and at 6 months after chemotherapy, at 1 year and 2 years after chemotherapy,
MSHQ (Male Sexual Health Questionnaire) consists of 25 questions. It is a self-evaluation by the partner. A total score out of 125 is calculated. A high score corresponds to a good quality of male sexual life.
At inclusion, at chemotherapy course n°4, at chemotherapy course n°6, at 3 months and at 6 months after chemotherapy, at 1 year and 2 years after chemotherapy,
describe partners' sexual health by PEP (man)/FSFI (woman) during follow-up
Time Frame: At inclusion, at chemotherapy course n°4, at chemotherapy course n°6, at 3 months and at 6 months after chemotherapy, at 1 year and 2 years after chemotherapy,
The PEP (Premature ejaculation profile) score explores premature ejaculation by self-questionnaire. It consists of 4 questions scored from 1 to 5. A high score corresponds to good male sexual health. A low score indicates premature ejaculation with repercussions on male sexual health.
At inclusion, at chemotherapy course n°4, at chemotherapy course n°6, at 3 months and at 6 months after chemotherapy, at 1 year and 2 years after chemotherapy,
testimony of patients expressing their experience of follow-up in the Fertility Observatory
Time Frame: At inclusion, at chemotherapy course n°4, at chemotherapy course n°6, at 3 months and at 6 months after chemotherapy, at 1 year and 2 years after chemotherapy,
At inclusion, at chemotherapy course n°4, at chemotherapy course n°6, at 3 months and at 6 months after chemotherapy, at 1 year and 2 years after chemotherapy,
