Inhaltsangabe

This book uses an intersectional theoretical framework to explore LGBTQI cancer, survivorship, and care, and engages with a unique psychosocial approach.Given the increasing recognition of LGBTQI communities as an underserved population in cancer care, and the need to provide tailored and culturally-sensitive care to these communities, this book is a timely and comprehensive guide for those wishing to understand LGBTQI patient and caregiver experiences and concerns and how these may be addressed in cancer care. The research on which the book is based addresses key limitations of the literature to date, including a lack of research on trans, intersex, adolescent and young adult, and carer experiences, and an overwhelming focus on breast and prostate cancers. The authors aim to identify and understand the complex intersection of gender, sexual identity, age, and other categories of difference, in relation to the cancer survivorship and care experiences of LGBTQI individuals, across a range of sexual identities, cancer types, and age groups. They ascertain barriers and facilitators to the delivery of culturally competent cancer communication and care to LGBTQI patients through an audit of guidelines and resources, and via the perspective of service providers. And finally, they aim to Synthesise and implement these findings into recommendations for tailored support materials for LGBTQI survivors and carers, and LGBTQI cancer best practice and policy recommendations.This is a valuable resource for LGBTQI researchers in Psychology, Queer theory, Social Sciences, Medicine, Health Sciences, Social Work, Gender Studies, Oncology. It will be of interest to researchers and clinicians, and LGBTQI people with cancer.
