About the Paper
In this award winning paper, Tracy Machado and Alberto Leone discussed a study on the access to healthcare experienced by transgender and gender diverse people, focusing on diagnostic and therapeutic pathways in oncology as well as clinical trial inclusion.
This paper highlighted that there is a real need for specialists to be more responsive and empathetic to emerging patient populations. OncoGender is a self-funded project that aims to share light on a phenomenon that is still little known and understood: transgender and gender nonconforming (TGNC) people’s access to clinical check-ups, screening, and treatment.
A privileged look at the issue of inclusivity of healthcare via the implementation of a compelling group of Italian specialists (market researchers and oncologists) and the collaboration with AIOM (Italian Association of Medical Oncology) resulted in powerful insights.
