Radiotherapy plays a critical role in gynaecologic cancer treatment. Despite the improvement of modern radiation techniques in healthy tissue protection, patients still experience significant treatment related effects. We aim to assess therapeutic management of radiation-related sexual adverse events for early or locally advanced-staged carcinomas. A literature search was performed up to March 2021. The management of patients with radiation-induced sexual toxicity involves multidisciplinary care coordination. Clinicians must be aware of the long-term adverse reactions associated with radiotherapy to ensure prompt diagnosis and appropriate management.
