Objective To investigate the quality of life, sexual quality of life and its influencing factors in cervical cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy. Methods Pre-menopausal patients of 87 cases were diagnosed with cervical cancer treated with radiotherapy at Peking Union Medical College Hospital from December 2013 to December 2018 were recruited in this study. The functional assessment of cancer therapy-cervix ( FACT-Cx V4. 0) and the female sexual function index ( FSFI) were evaluated. Demographic and treatment data were collected. The influencing factors were analyzed by multiple linear regression analysis. Results The total score of quality of life was 114( 100-126) , 19( 16-21) for physiology, 21( 18-24) for social/family, 19( 17-21 ) for emotion, 19 ( 14-22 ) for function and 39 ( 34-43 ) for additional attention, respectively. The end time of radiotherapy was the influencing factor of the total score ( P= 0.034 ) , physiology ( P=0) and function ( P=0.008) . Family was the influencing factor of social family dimension ( P=0.010) . The total score of FSFI was 8.0( 5.0-20.5) , 1.8( 1.2-3.0) for sexual desire, 1.5( 0-2.7) for sexual arousal, 0.3( 0-3.6) for vaginal lubrication, 0( 0-3.6) for orgasm, 3.2( 2-4) for satisfaction and 0( 0-3.6) for sexual pain, respectively. The total score was less than 27 in 97%( 84/87) of the patients and had sexual dysfunction. Age was the influencing factor of sexual arousal ( P=0.005) and vaginal lubrication ( P=0.039) . Occupation was the influencing factor of sexual pain ( P=0.004) . Conclusions The quality of life of premenopausal patients with cervical cancer is affected by multiple factors. Radiotherapy-related complications should be actively treated to improve the quality of life and sexual life of patients.

Objective:To evaluate and summarize the teaching effect of" New Technology of Radiotherapy and Oncology" in the form of questionnaire, understand the degree of demand for the course of all kinds of medical students and improve the teaching contents and methods.Methods:The course of" New Technology of Radiotherapy and Oncology" was a specialized elective course in Peking Union Medical College. After two rounds of teaching practices, we evaluated the students participating in the course or non-course participants by anonymous questionnaire. The questionnaire items include the course content, setting, teachers and improvement suggestions.Results:A total of 73 questionnaires were sent out, and the recovery rate was 100%. Among them, 52(71%) were from students who chose the courses. 83% of the students" strongly agree" that the teaching content of this course is the latest development, the latest achievement or the problem to be solved, 94% were" satisfied" or" very satisfied" with their learning effect, and 92% and 83% were satisfied with the teachers and teaching plan, respectively. After taking the course, students rated" broadening of mind" (96%) as the biggest gain, followed by" facilitating interdisciplinary collaboration" (79%). 86% of the non-course participants felt the need to supplement the existing curriculum with new techniques in oncology radiotherapy, hoping that the curriculum would" broaden the mind" (76%), improve clinical application (81%) and facilitate interdisciplinary collaboration (71%).Conclusion:The questionnaire results show that the teaching practice of this course covers the different needs of all kinds of students, which is worthy of implementation and further improvement.

Objective:To investigate the anxiety and depression of cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy during the epidemic of COVID-19.Methods:By using self-rating anxiety scale and self-rating depression scale, a cross-sectional survey was conducted during the COVID-19 epidemic period.Results:During the COVID-19 epidemic period, the incidence of anxiety and depression in cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy was 15.8% and 27.7% respectively, of which 12.9% suffered from both anxiety and depression. The average scores of anxiety and depression were 49.4(25/76) and 46.4(25/83), respectively, which were higher than those of the domestic norm. Age is a contributing factor for anxiety, and patients living in urban are more likely to experience depression.Conclusions:The prevalence of anxiety and depression of cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy are higher than healthy people during the COVID-19 outbreak. We should pay more attention to the psychological states of the cancer patients.
