[Sexual problems in patients with prostate cancer and those with benign prostatic hypertrophy]. / Troubles sexuelS chez des patients atteints de cancer ou d'hyperplasie bénigne de la prostate.

We use the word "tumour" both for a benign prostatic hypertrophy and for a prostatic cancer. The psycho-emotional reactions from a man suffering from these illnesses could be different depending on the kind of tumour, but could be similar especially concerning sexual problems connected with the specific affliction. Hence the necessity also to consider beneficial a psychotherapeutic and sexotherapeutic intervention.
