“…In the trans women population (assigned as male gender at birth, however, identifying with the female gender), this therapy is composed of anti-androgens and estrogens, in order to induce feminization. 8,11,12 Otherwise, in the trans men population (assigned as female at birth, however, identifying with the male gender), this therapy is based on testosterone, in order to develop male secondary sexual characters. 7 Surgical procedures can also be included for both trans men and trans women patients.…”

“…7 Surgical procedures can also be included for both trans men and trans women patients. 8,12 The role of exogenous sex steroids in the risk of developing breast cancer and its pathogenesis in trans patients is not fully understood. Large prospective studies have shown an increased risk of breast cancer in postmenopausal cisgender patients who have received hormone replacement therapy, which could suggest an increased risk to the trans women population.…”

“…

The term transgender refers to people whose identity does not agree with cultural expectations related to the sex they were assigned, at birth. 1,2 Approximately 1.6 million (0.6%) adults in the United States identify as transgender. 2 As the transgender community continues to grow, the need for appropriate education for medical imaging and radiation therapists becomes more critical to reduce disparities in treatment and access to care.

Objective: The purpose of this mixed-methods study was to gather benchmark data on curricular content related to imaging of transgender patients. In addition, the intent was to explore program directors’ opinions on the need to include this content in the curriculum. Material and Methods: An online survey was emailed to all directors (n = 982) of accredited imaging programs in the United States. Results: In total, 331 (34%) program directors participated in the survey. Fifty-six percent currently do not include this content in their curriculum and 67% reported no discussion of adding the material. There was a modest and significant positive correlation between the program directors’ perceived level of knowledge, regarding imaging transgender patients, and their perceived importance of including this material in the curriculum ( r = 0.370; P < .001). Positive (55%), negative (7%), and neutral themes (38%) emerged from the qualitative data analysis. Conclusion: These findings were consistent with literature regarding a lack of curriculum specific to transgender patients. Program directors recognized the need to include this content, although barriers exist related to readiness to implement, limited faculty knowledge with the material, and lack of educational resources. Program directors are seeking strategies and resources to guide the integration of this material into the curriculum.
