“…12 However, to date, such monitoring is not consistent; amalgamating evidence relating to LGBT+ patients remains challenging, and this is more pronounced for trans identities. 13 Asking LGBT+-related questions consistently to monitor sexual orientation and gender identity of patients will assist the development of more robust data to evidence where there are disparities in health outcomes and health service use. It can also guide resource allocation and intervention development to improve the care and support provided to LGBT+ people.…”

ObjectivePatients identifying as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and/or queer/questioning (LGBTQ+) report significant disparities in cancer care and are disproportionally affected by a cancer diagnosis on a number of health-related indicators. This study aimed to explore uterine cancer (UC) care from the perspectives of LGBTQ+ patients and stakeholders, to identify this population’s care needs, which have been underprioritised thus far.Methods and analysisQualitative interview data were collected from three cohorts of participants: LGBTQ+ UC patients, partners of UC patients and stakeholders who provide advocacy and/or support within the UC care pathway, including healthcare professionals (HCPs). Semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted and data were analysed using inductive reflexive thematic analysis.ResultsFifteen participants (three patients, one partner, eight HCPs and three cancer support charity representatives) were recruited. Data analysis identified themes which represented participants’ reflections on the relevance and opportunities for identity disclosure during the diagnostic pathway; feelings and implications of not fitting into the gynaecological cancer environment and, opportunities and challenges surrounding HCP education, and protocolled sexual and gender identity data collection.ConclusionUC patients who identify as LGBTQ+ have specific care needs and considerations, particularly related to transvaginal procedures and survivorship. Opportunities for disclosure of patients’ LGBTQ+ identity during the UC care pathway are essential for these needs to be recognised. Despite this, there are conflicting agendas between HCPs and stakeholders on the best approach to integrate disclosure processes. The current findings highlight the need for public health agendas and clinical services to address the needs of LGBTQ+ UC patients.
