In this session from Cancer Nation’s 2026 Virtual Summit, we welcome cancer and intimacy educator Claire Rumore.

Cancer can change far more than sexual function. It can reshape how we see ourselves, experience our bodies, relate to those we love, and connect with the world around us. Yet conversations about intimacy in cancer care often remain narrowly focused on sex function and wellness alone.

In this engaging and thought-provoking session, Claire Rumore invites patients, partners, caregivers, survivors, and health care professionals to explore a broader, more compassionate understanding of intimacy, one that includes identity, body image, communication, touch, pleasure, emotional connection, relationships, and beyond.

Leave with a new perspective on intimacy and practical insights for fostering connection and supporting this piece of whole-person care throughout the cancer experience.
