Abstract

This literature review explores breast cancer screening practices among transgender individuals globally, emphasizing the overlooked population in Pakistan. With an overview of intersex and transgender terminology, the study delves into screening guidelines for transfeminine and transmasculine patients, considering hormone therapy and surgery. Worldwide statistics on transgender and intersex populations are provided, highlighting the unique challenges they face, particularly in Pakistan, where societal discrimination and healthcare barriers persist. Databases searched included PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar from the Year 2000 till todate.The review synthesizes breast cancer screening recommendations in transgender population from ACR, WPATH, UCSF, and the Canadian Cancer Society, revealing variations in guidelines. It concludes with a call for tailored screening protocols for Pakistan's transgender community and recommends a comprehensive study due to the absence of data in Southeast Asia. The unstructured abstract underscores the need for nuanced, personalized screening strategies and emphasizes the critical gap in knowledge specific to breast cancer in this marginalized population.

变性人群的乳腺癌筛查：文献综述。

这篇文献综述探讨了全球变性人的乳腺癌筛查方法，并强调了巴基斯坦被忽视的人群。通过对双性人和变性人术语的概述，该研究深入探讨了变性人和变性人患者的筛查指南，并考虑了激素治疗和手术。研究提供了全球变性人和双性人的统计数据，强调了他们所面临的独特挑战，尤其是在巴基斯坦，社会歧视和医疗保健障碍依然存在。该综述综合了 ACR、WPATH、加州大学旧金山分校和加拿大癌症协会针对变性人群的乳腺癌筛查建议，揭示了指南中的差异。文章最后呼吁为巴基斯坦变性人群体量身定制筛查方案，并建议开展一项综合研究，因为东南亚地区缺乏相关数据。这份非结构化摘要强调了制定细致入微的个性化筛查策略的必要性，并强调了这一边缘化人群在乳腺癌方面的知识缺口。
