Abstract

Transgender and gender diverse (TGD) adolescents and young adults (AYA) face heightened risks of cancer due to cissexism and transphobia in healthcare, low cancer screening rates, limited knowledge and awareness of cancer risk and screenings, poor healthcare experiences, and exposure to sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Despite this, TGD AYA cancer risk is relatively unexamined in oncology research. To intervene early and mitigate risk, we require holistic understandings of cancer risk among TGD AYA. This research brief engages with an interdisciplinary knowledge base to identify gaps and limitations warranting critical attention by TGD AYA and cancer scholars. The current literature on TGD AYA risks for cancer are explored with specific attention to the social environment and its impact on cancer risk. The brief ends with a call to action for a paradigmatic shift to promote inclusive, innovative, and interdisciplinary cancer research with TGD AYA.

跨学科，包容和创新:促进跨性别和性别多样化青少年和年轻人癌症研究的范式转变

跨性别和性别多样化（TGD）青少年和年轻人（AYA）面临癌症风险的增加，这是由于医疗保健中的自恋和跨性别恐惧症、癌症筛查率低、对癌症风险和筛查的知识和认识有限、医疗保健经验差以及接触性传播感染（STIs）。尽管如此，在肿瘤学研究中，TGD AYA癌症风险相对未经检查。为了及早干预并降低风险，我们需要全面了解TGD AYA中的癌症风险。本研究简介涉及跨学科知识库，以确定需要TGD AYA和癌症学者重点关注的差距和局限性。对癌症TGD AYA风险的现有文献进行了探讨，特别关注社会环境及其对癌症风险的影响。简报最后呼吁采取行动，与TGD AYA一起推动包容性、创新性和跨学科的癌症研究。
