Are you interested in providing better care for sexual and gender minority cancer patients but don't know where to start?

The session will review what is known about increased physical and especially psychosocial risks for this population; how that constellation of experiences creates differential care considerations; how medical mistrust and social support are two main barriers to care; and steps you can take in your practice today to counter these phenomena.
