Brief Summary:
The goal of this multicentric prospective study is to evaluate the incidence of Breast Cancer in transgender and gender-diverse population
Detailed Description:
In recent years the scientific community has been paying increasing attention to lesbian gay bisexual transgender queer intersexual asexual population with a special focus on transgender and gender-diverse individuals Globally the percentage of adults who identify themselves as transgender varies between 03 and 05 while approximately 05 to 45 of adults are estimated to identify as gender-diverse Despite the growing visibility of transgender and gender-diverse community and the efforts towards their depathologization healthcare still needs to address two fundamental issues the inadequate preparation of healthcare staff regarding gender incongruence which results in mistreatment and discrimination and the lack of uniform and large-scale prospective data Scientific evidence regarding the risk of developing breast cancer BC in these patients and the related benefits of BC screening are still limited and insufficient The Associazione Italiana di Oncologia Medica AIOM reported that the risk of developing BC tends to increase in transgender women compared to cisgender men standardized incidence ratio SIR 467 95 CI 272-754 although it does not reach the level of risk in cisgender women SIR 03 95 CI 02-04 Conversely in transgender men the risk of BC decreases when compared to cisgender women SIR 02 95 CI 01-05 but it still remains higher than the risk present in cisgender men 589 95 CI 187-1422As for the screening programs there is a lower adherence among the transgender and non-conforming-gender population compared to the cisgender population due to socio-economic barriers and a lack of clear recommendations supported by scientific evidenceThe National Comprehensive Cancer Network NCCNand AIOM guidelines currently do not include specific recommendations for transgender individuals due to the aforementioned lack of scientific evidence
