Data Sheet 1_Acute changes in sexual function, hormonal profiles, and psychological status

A clinical study of 85 male patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma who received intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT). The dataset, authored by Yan Xiong and last updated in June 2026, includes pre- and post-treatment scores for erectile and ejaculatory function, serum sex hormone levels, and psychological status assessments.

Use Cases

• Analyzing the acute impact of radiotherapy on sexual function based on IIEF-5 and CIPE scores.
• Investigating correlations between changes in sexual function and alterations in sex hormone levels like FSH, LH, and testosterone.
• Studying the relationship between psychological status (anxiety/depression) and sexual function in cancer patients post-treatment.

Strengths

• Includes paired pre- and post-treatment measurements for 85 patients, enabling within-subject analysis.
• Assesses multiple domains: sexual function via validated questionnaires (IIEF-5, CIPE), six serum sex hormones, and psychological status (SAS, SDS).
• Statistical results, including p-values and correlation coefficients, are reported in the description.

Limitations

• The dataset is described in a 716.8 KB DOCX file; the underlying tabular data structure and column definitions are not visible.
• Row count for the actual data is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The geographic and institutional origin of the patient cohort is not specified.
