TAILIEUCHUNG - Trans Care Medical issues: Trans people and cancer

Some 60 years after physicists helped to initiate the molecular-biology revolution that has produced so many medical miracles, biophysics is a growing dis- cipline worldwide. Yet in spite of the spectacular ad- vances in understanding the cell’s molecular machinery, something as widespread and pervasive as cancer re- mains a stubborn and growing medical problem. As the population ages, so the burden of cancer on society and on the economy is set to worsen. If physicists can bring a new perspective to bear on cancer, it could bring about major clinical progress and open up a new chap- ter in the science of living matter. . | Trans Care Medical issues Trans people and cancer What is Cancer Cancer happens when cells don t die when they should. Instead cancer cells keep on reproducing and make more defective cells that also don t die when they should and often don t function as they should either .

But there are concerns about the association between social economic marginalization and cancer high rates of cigarette smoking and alcohol consumption among trans people risk for sexually transmitted infections linked to cancer the long-term impact of hormone use Additionally the lack of trans-inclusive information and medical care means trans people aren t benefiting from cancer prevention services. 1. Social economic marginalization and cancer Numerous studies have documented the low social and economic status of trans people. According to the Harvard University Center for Cancer Prevention socially and economically disadvantaged groups are at increased risk of cancer of the lung cervix stomach esophagus tube from your mouth to your stomach larynx voice box liver and bladder.
