TLDR
An overview of the current literature on seven cancer sites that may disproportionately affect lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender/transsexual, and queer/questioning (LGBTQ) populations is provided.Abstract:
This article provides an overview of the current literature on seven cancer sites that may disproportionately affect lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender/transsexual, and queer/questioning (LGBTQ) populations. For each cancer site, the authors present and discuss the descriptive statistics, primary prevention, secondary prevention and preclinical disease, tertiary prevention and late-stage disease, and clinical implications. Finally, an overview of psychosocial factors related to cancer survivorship is offered as well as strategies for improving access to care.read more

Human papillomavirus and cervical cancer
TL;DR: The new HPV-oriented model of cervical carcinogenesis should gradually replace older morphological models based only on cytology and histology, and can minimise the incidence of cervical cancer, and the morbidity and mortality it causes, even in low-resource settings.

TL;DR: Currently, the clearest role for HPV DNA testing is to improve diagnostic accuracy and limit unnecessary colposcopy in patients with borderline or mildly abnormal cytologic test results.
The Health of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender People: Building a Foundation for Better Understanding
TL;DR: The National Institutes of Health asked the Institute of Medicine to assess current knowledge of the health status of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender populations; to identify research gaps and opportunities; and to outline a research agenda to help NIH focus its research in this area.
