This book covers the scope of current knowledge of cancer in the
LGBT community across the entire cancer continuum, from
understanding risk and prevention strategies in LGBT groups, across
issues of diagnosis and treatment of LGBT patients, to unique
aspects of survivorship and death and dying in these communities.
Each chapter includes an in depth analysis of the state of the
science, discusses the many remaining challenges and unanswered
questions and makes recommendations for research, policy and
programmatic strategies required to address these. Focus is also
placed on the diversity of the LGBT communities. Issues that are
unique to cancer in LGBT populations are addressed including the
social, economic and cultural factors that affect cancer risk
behaviors, barriers to screening, utilization of health care
services, and legislation that directly impacts the health care of
LGBT patients, healthcare settings that are heterosexist and unique
aspects of patient-provider relationships such as disclosure of
sexual orientation and the need for inclusion of expanded
definition of family to include families of choice. The
implications of policy change, its impact on healthcare for LGBT
patients are highlighted, as are the remaining challenges that need
to be addressed. A roadmap for LGBT cancer prevention, detection,
diagnosis, survivorship, including treatment and end of life care
is offered for future researchers, policy makers, advocates and
health care providers.
