Clinical Characteristics and Care Trajectories of Transgender and Gender Diverse Patients With Cancer Seen in a Pediatric Gender Clinic
TGD youth with cancer experiences present for gender affirming care and merit clinical attention. There was variability in (1) patients' and families' disclosure of TGD identities to oncology teams, (2) whether oncology documentation consistently used patients' correct name and pronouns, and (3) whether there was documented interprofessional consultation between teams. There is need for ongoing improvement in research and clinical protocols for TGD youth with cancer.
