Beating cancer means beating it for everyone. And crucial to doing that is tackling health inequalities, unfair and avoidable differences in health across the population and between different groups within society.
In this episode, we're diving into the inequalities faced by one group in particular, the LGBTQ+ community, and what we can do to make cancer care more inclusive for everyone.
To get some insight into the inequalities in cancer care in the LGBTQ+ community and what needs to change to reduce them, we hear from Dr Alison Berner a medical oncologist, academic clinical lecturer, and speciality doctor in adult gender identity medicine, and Stewart O’Callaghan, founder and CEO of the LGBTQ+ cancer charity OutPatients. (Note, OutPatients was known as Live Through This at the time of recording, and is therefore referred to as such throughout the episode).
Learn more about the research and resources discussed:
- I’m trans or non-binary, does this affect my cancer screening?
- OutPatients (formerly Live Through This)
- UK Cancer and Transition Service (UCATS)
- Best For My Chest (Inclusive breast screening information)
- Remove the Doubt (Inclusive cervical cancer screening information)
