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.
