A study published in CA: A Cancer Journal for Clinicians highlights the disparities in cancer incidence among LGBTQ+ patients. Previous studies have attributed these disparities to minority stress theory, which suggests that discrimination and mistrust in medical settings contribute to increased stress and health risks. The study found that lesbian individuals had the highest cancer incidence rates, being twice as likely to be diagnosed with thyroid cancer, basal cell carcinoma, and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The research emphasizes the need for inclusive research and tailored healthcare interventions to address the unique cancer risks and needs of sexual minority populations.
