A Vanguard for Advancing Intimacy-Informed Cancer Care
TRANSFORMING CANCER CARE BEYOND THE CLINICAL
Across oncology care, intimacy, sexuality, and relational wellbeing remain some of the least addressed aspects of survivorship. Yet research consistently shows that these concerns profoundly affect quality of life, partnerships, identity, and long-term emotional health after cancer.
At CancerEVOLVE, we work with forward-thinking organizations, locally and globally, to integrate intimacy-informed care into survivorship programs, professional education, and patient resources.
How We Help
We are committed to helping organizations thoughtfully integrate intimacy-informed care— an emerging approach that recognizes sexuality, relationship dynamics, and body identity as essential components of whole-person survivorship, through a combination of assessment, education, and program design.
This may include:
- Enhance patient care through intimacy-informed frameworks that address sexuality, relationships, and body image during and after cancer.
- Train your staff in practical communication skills for sensitive topics to support patients navigating deeply personal concerns.
- Integrate cutting-edge education into survivorship programs, support groups, and wellness initiatives.
- License ready-to-use resources such as patient worksheets, educational articles, digital guides, and conversation cards to embed into your existing care pathways.
- Consult on care redesign, communication strategies, and trauma-informed approaches to ensure your services meet modern survivorship standards.
why this work matters
According to a 2014 research article titled “Sexual health communication between cancer survivors and providers: How frequently does it occur and which providers are preferred,” over 90% of patients report their oncologist rarely initiates discussions about sexual health concerns even though 40-75% of cancer patients express a preference for their oncologist to address these issues.
Let’s be honest: modern oncology does a phenomenal job of saving lives—but true healing requires a focus on connection, dignity, and belonging. These are essential elements of intimacy, relationship quality and body image confidence.
By integrating intimacy-informed, relationship-supportive, and body-aware care, your organization will be able to help patients reclaim identity, confidence, and relationship to self and others.
This isn’t just better care—it’s complete care.

Work With Us
Organizations partnering with us are often early adopters in advancing whole-person survivorship care. These collaborations contribute to a growing movement to bring relational and sexual wellbeing into the broader conversation about cancer recovery.
Our partnerships typically begin with a structured pilot engagement designed to understand an organization’s current landscape and identify opportunities for integrating intimacy-informed care.
From there, organizations may choose to expand into broader education programs, licensed resource libraries, or long-term implementation and advisory partnerships.
