How to improve the cancer continuum for transgender and gender-diverse patients

Transgender and gender-diverse patients experience significant disparities throughout the cancer continuum, including receiving less frequent preventive cancer screenings for all cancer types, being diagnosed with cancer at later stages, and being less likely to receive treatment for some types of cancer. This brief correspondence describes steps that providers and institutions can take to improve research, provider training, and clinical care for this vulnerable population.

Abstract

Transgender and gender-diverse patients experience significant disparities throughout the cancer continuum, including receiving less frequent preventive cancer screenings for all cancer types, being diagnosed with cancer at later stages, and being less likely to receive treatment for some types of cancer. This brief correspondence describes steps that providers and institutions can take to improve research, provider training, and clinical care for this vulnerable population.
