On this episode of All Access DNA, we talk to Dr. Mittendorf about hereditary cancer considerations for people who are transgender and gender diverse. We discuss management guidelines, cancer risks and how knowing hereditary cancer risk may inform medical decisions. The conversation also delves into the significant concerns surrounding the privacy of medical data for transgender individuals. It highlights the fear of being identified as trans in medical records and the potential repercussions of such identification, especially in light of recent legal actions involving healthcare providers. On This Episode We Discuss: The ways gender affirming care can be impacted by hereditary cancer risk. The effect of gender dysphoria in making medical decisions. Hormone therapy (HRT) and cancer risk Privacy concerns are heightened for the transgender community. Recent instances have raised alarms about data security in healthcare. Community safety is a significant concern related to medical data. There is a need for better protections for sensitive health information. Dr. Mittendorf is an interdisciplinary scientist whose current research focuses on translational genomics and cancer care delivery, especially as it impacts populations with reduced access to care. They have extensive experience in genomic evidence synthesis, data modeling, web application development, community-driven research design, implementation science, and genomic applications in care delivery. They have cross-disciplinary training that covers epidemiology, qualitative research, bioethics, and informatics. Their PhD in biochemistry, with a focus on molecular biophysics, gives them a unique foundation to understand the molecular mechanisms at…","meta_description":"Transgender and gender diverse cancer care, privacy, community safety.
