The LGBTQ+ Community is Disproportionately Burdened by Cancer
Rutgers Cancer Institute

Cancer health disparities are differences in cancer burden experienced by members of marginalized communities. As such, discrimination based on gender identity and/or sexual orientation contributes to cancer disparities today. While data about cancer among members of the LGBTQ+ community is somewhat limited, recent studies have found that members of this group may have an elevated rate of cancer diagnoses. Our experts share more.
