Transgender people encounter unique health disparities in oncology. They face substantial barriers in accessing healthcare that are exaggerated by bias/discrimination from healthcare professionals and systems, and socio-economic marginalisation. This review explores the current landscape of cancer risk, screening and management in transgender individuals from a Spanish perspective. Nationwide data are lacking, but estimates from Madrid suggest that 22 per 100,000 individuals are transgender. The needs of the transgender individual for gender-affirming surgeries and gender-affirming hormone therapy may alter the individual's oncological risk profile and likelihood of receiving appropriate screening, and when diagnosed with cancer may have to be balanced against treatment requirements (e.g., endocrine therapy for breast cancer). There remain unmet needs in the oncological care of the transgender patient. Concerted effort is required to address clinical research gaps, and reform healthcare education and policy, in order to develop inclusive clinical practices that enhance patient care and outcomes.
期刊介绍:
Clinical and Translational Oncology is an international journal devoted to fostering interaction between experimental and clinical oncology. It covers all aspects of research on cancer, from the more basic discoveries dealing with both cell and molecular biology of tumour cells, to the most advanced clinical assays of conventional and new drugs. In addition, the journal has a strong commitment to facilitating the transfer of knowledge from the basic laboratory to the clinical practice, with the publication of educational series devoted to closing the gap between molecular and clinical oncologists. Molecular biology of tumours, identification of new targets for cancer therapy, and new technologies for research and treatment of cancer are the major themes covered by the educational series. Full research articles on a broad spectrum of subjects, including the molecular and cellular bases of disease, aetiology, pathophysiology, pathology, epidemiology, clinical features, and the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of cancer, will be considered for publication.
