In this episode of 2SLGBTQ+ Health in Focus, our guests share key facts and advice about routine cancer screenings for 2SLGBTQ+ communities. Why are 2SLGBTQ+ people less likely to be screened for breast, cervical and colorectal cancers? Why are they often diagnosed at later stages? And what resilience factors emerge? Tune in to learn more.
This episode features Dr Aisha Lofters, University of Toronto professor and cancer screening equity researcher, and Dr Kathryn Pfaff, University of Windsor nursing leader specializing in compassionate care models. Special thanks to Spencer, Rita and Rie for sharing their cancer screening experiences.
