THE CONVERSATION 67% OF CANCER SURVIVORS NEED
BUT 89% OF HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS AVOID
When cancer treatment ends, survivors face a hidden crisis that medicine rarely addresses: the devastating impact on sexual health and intimate relationships. Research shows up to 67% of cancer survivors experience sexual dysfunction, yet 89% never receive support from their healthcare team.
The Pleasure Principle 2026 is Canada's only conference specifically designed to fill this massive knowledge gap. This isn't just another medical conference—it's a revolution in cancer survivorship care.
