How to improve the cancer care experience of LGBTQ+ people

Improving the experience of people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and of other sexual and gender minorities (LGBTQ+) in cancer care begins with recognising that inequalities still exist and that many patients arrive in healthcare settings expecting discrimination. Making patients feel comfortable requires a consistent approach rooted in awareness, communication and inclusion.

Abstract

Improving the experience of people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and of other sexual and gender minorities (LGBTQ+) in cancer care begins with recognising that inequalities still exist and that many patients arrive in healthcare settings expecting discrimination. Making patients feel comfortable requires a consistent approach rooted in awareness, communication and inclusion.
