Key Points

The central aim is to explore the relationship between health care discrimination and health outcomes in transgender, gender nonconforming, and nonbinary (TGNCNB) individuals with cancer.
Assessed self-reported health outcomes in the TGNCNB population
Identified rates of health care discrimination
Analyzed the impact of discrimination on overall health and medical mistrust
Higher rates of health care discrimination correlate with poorer health outcomes
Increased discrimination is linked to greater medical mistrust
Improvements in patient-centric care may mitigate these issues

Abstract

The findings of this study suggest that in the TGNCNB population, increased rates of health care discrimination are associated with poorer health outcomes, which may perpetuate medical mistrust and decrease patient-centric quality of care overall. Future research and policy efforts should identify actionable interventions to advance equitable cancer care for TGNCNB individuals.
