Beyond Survival: Psycho-Oncology, Resilience, Quality of Life and Sexuality after Cancer

This webinar will focus on key aspects of psycho-oncology relevant to clinical practice, exploring how healthcare professionals can support and enhance the quality of life of cancer patients throughout the disease trajectory. Discussions will address whether long-term psychological and physical effects of treatment can be anticipated or prevented, and how early supportive interventions may impact survivorship. A central theme will be the concept of resilience—both in patients facing the emotional and physical challenges of cancer, and in healthcare providers navigating the demands of oncology care. Through evidence-based insights and practical strategies, the session aims to equip clinicians with tools to foster well-being, promote adaptive coping, and sustain compassionate care in the face of long-term challenges. The webinar will close with a powerful patient perspective in the presentation “From scars to connection – reclaiming sexual identity after cancer”, offering an intimate and honest reflection on healing, identity, and the importance of communication and empathy in survivorship care.
