Resources to normalize sexual health in a cancer care setting
Cancer survival rates are increasing every year, and so are the number of survivors left to face the sexual health side effects their cancer caused. We need to change that.
Focused on patient Advocacy
The After Cancer Story
After Cancer is a non-profit organization dedicated to the mission that all patients impacted by cancer will receive screening for sexual health side effects as part of their care. Started as a collaboration with oncology clinicians and experts in sexual health medicine, the organization now provides educational programs for healthcare professionals and care team members on addressing the issues of their patients.

The All of Me Project
Through grants from the ICC After Cancer created the All of Me project training program. From diagnosis to survivorship, All of me aims to prioritize sexual health in oncology care and improve the quality of life for all those affected by cancer. All of Me implements a framework of normalizing the conversation, setting patient expectations, and referring patients timely. Our training programs are built on these three principles.
Patient Support Resources
Let’s Inspire Change
Cancer patients have been suffering in silence when it comes to sexual health issues after treatment. They are in need of anticipatory guidance, but the topic of sexual health is seldom addressed. After Cancer offers a training course for Advanced Practice Providers to address and screen for sexual health side effects caused by cancer or its treatment. The 14.25-hour accredited course also provides a library of educational handouts for your patients to assist in navigating the challenges related to intimacy.
Empowering Partnerships for Enhanced Cancer Care
After Cancer’s partnership program fosters collaboration among healthcare providers, educators, researchers, and program leaders. We promote engagement through specialized training courses and workshops, and our thought leader group allows partners to share insights and shape the future of cancer care, ensuring comprehensive support for those affected by cancer.
