摘要：
Transgender people often face barriers in their pursuit of receiving sensitive and informed health care, and many avoid preventive care and care for life-threatening conditions because of those obstacles. This article focuses on cancer care of the transgender patient, as well as ways that nurses and other providers can help to create a transgender-sensitive healthcare environment. At a Glance Many impediments to health care for transgender people can lead to decreased screenings and increased cancer risks. Although limited, research on cancer in the transgender community has concluded that malignancies related to hormone therapy are rare. Oncology nurses require essential skills and education to provide sensitive and informed care to transgender patients.
