Authors: Elizabeth Cathcart-Rake, Alexandre Chan, Alvaro Menendez, Denise Markstrom, Carla Schnitzlein, Yee Won Chong, Don Dizon.
“On behalf of The Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer (MASCC), we have recently developed recommendations for cancer care in transgender and gender-diverse (TGD) people.
They are recently published in CA: A Cancer Journal for Clinicians, with the aim to reduce health disparities in TGD people. Check out our publication.”
Quoting American Cancer Society Journals’s post:
“In the United States, over 2 million individuals openly identify with a gender that differs from their sex assigned at birth. For transgender and gender-diverse (TGD) people, cancer care often involves additional challenges, including the need for affirming and inclusive practices in diagnosis and treatment.
A new review in CA: A Cancer Journal for Clinicians offers practical, literature-driven recommendations from the Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer (MASCC) for delivering high-quality cancer care to TGD patients.
Topics include:
- Epidemiology of cancer in TGD populations
- Creating welcoming and affirming cancer center practices
- The impact of gender-affirming therapies on cancer care
