A Scoping Review Mapping Trans* and Gender Diverse People's Representation in Cancer Research.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Trans* and gender diverse people (TGD) are at risk of experiencing inequities across the cancer continuum. While limited evidence suggests cancer is a concern for TGD people, few systematic reviews or other knowledge syntheses exist that can guide efforts to improve the evidence base and address the inequities TGD people face in cancer care.

Methods

Our team conducted a mixed methods scoping review exploring how cancer affects TGD people. We extracted data on cancer type and phase of the cancer continuum, gender definition operationalization, results, and TGD engagement. We followed JBI's meta-aggregation approach for mixed methods reviews by qualitizing quantitative data through narrative interpretation and pooling to integrate the extracted data.
