Calendar event image

Transgender patients with genetic mutations such as BRCA or Lynch syndrome face unique challenges in the medical world. From the hyperfemininity of breast cancer activism, to the effects of anti-trans laws on preventative surgery, and the lack of research pertaining to transgender cancer patients, this panel will discuss a variety of topics. Recent research on how gender-affirming care impacts cancer treatment will be presented, along with a variety of personal accounts and how we can move forward in supporting transgender hereditary cancer patients. Please note this panel will discuss transphobia and cancer.
