Abstract

The oncologic care of the transgender patient is an area of increasing interest as this patient cohort continues to grow. Caring for these patients may be challenging due to limited literature on this topic and a lack of standard screening recommendations. It is critical that providers have a thorough knowledge of the transgender patients’ surgical and medical history related to the affirmation process to guide their care. The following chapter describes the known oncologic concerns in these patients based on the limited available literature.
