Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to help us learn more about sexual problems after treatment for ovarian cancer. At this time, we do not know how many women have sexual problems after they are treated for ovarian cancer.

How common are sexual problems after treatment for ovarian cancer?

* What factors make women more likely to have sexual problems after treatment for ovarian cancer?
* What happens to sexual functioning over the first 12 months after treatment? ie.

Does it get better or worse?

• Does referral to a specialized sexual health clinic help?

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

1

FSFI score \<= 26

questionnaires

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

will be offered referral to the Sexual Health Clinic (SHC) at MSKCC for evaluation and possible treatment. The effectiveness and compliance of the intervention offered at the SHC will be assessed at approximately 3, 6 and 12 months using the FSFI, SAQ, CES-D, MSC and IES. At each evaluation they will complete a Health Surveillance Form (HSF). They will have completed the study at 12 months after entering the study or at the time they have evidence of recurrent disease requiring treatment

2

FSFI score \>26

questionnaires

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Those women who have a FSFI score \> 26 will be reassessed at approximately 3, 6 and 12 months. They will complete the FSFI, SAQ, CES-D, IES, MSC and HSF at each assessment. They will be followed out until 12 months after entering the study or until they have evidence of recurrent disease.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Women with any stage of invasive epithelial ovarian cancer who have completed frontline therapy within the past 6 months
* Women must have no clinical evidence of disease
* At least 18 years of age
* English speaking
* Able to participate in the informed consent process
* Women who present to Sexual Health Clinic for the first time and meet all other eligibility criteria are eligible. Their FSFI scores will be used to determine the primary endpoint of prevalence of sexual dysfunction. If they score over 26 on the FSFI, they may still elect to be followed at the SHC.

Exclusion Criteria

* Active secondary cancer requiring cytotoxic chemotherapy at the time enrollment
* Evidence of recurrent/persistent disease by elevated CA125, findings on imaging (CT, PET scan etc) or physical examination
* Women with borderline (low malignant potential) ovarian cancers
* Women who are already in active evaluation and/or follow-up at the Sexual Health Clinic
* Women with a history of prior whole pelvic radiation
