The aim is to explore how intersecting marginalized identities impact cancer-related pain outcomes among survivors.
Conducted an intersectional analysis of cancer-related pain among sexual and gender minorities and other marginalized backgrounds using existing data.
Analyzed data from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System to assess pain prevalence in SGM individuals.
Examined the role of minority stress in biological functioning and symptom manifestation.
SGM individuals reported a higher prevalence of cancer-related pain compared to heterosexual cisgender counterparts.
Younger SGM adults, particularly Black or Hispanic with low income and poor access to care, had significantly higher chances of experiencing pain.
The findings highlight the need for a deeper understanding of how intersectional identities influence pain management in cancer care.
