ReviewBreast Cancer Screening Recommendations for Transgender Patients: A Review.
Shifting societal attitudes trending toward increased acceptance of transgender people has contributed to a growth in the population of individuals who openly identify as transgender as well as an increase in utilization of gender-affirming surgeries. Therefore, health care providers should work toward increasing their knowledge with respect to the health care needs of the transgender population, particularly given that these individuals often face discrimination in the health care system. Moreover, transgender breast cancer screening rates lag behind breast cancer screening rates for cisgender individuals. ⋯ Searches were not filtered based on year of publication, language of publication, or geographic location. We compare the various guidelines as they pertain to both transgender men and transgender women and offer special considerations for upholding inclusivity in the health care field. An easy-to-reference summary of the current transgender breast cancer screening guidelines and the major points of this article were compiled into an original infographic that health care providers can reference to ensure that appropriate care is being offered.
