Do trans-men have higher rates of cancer than cis-men have?

[Futurist]

Also, what about trans-women and cis-women?

Does anyone here have any data in regards to this?

I'm interested too, if anyone has data to share.

Post op transmen should theoretically have less risk of certain cancer since their breasts are gone and they don't have prostate or testicular cancer risk... ?

I'm trying to find the reference it was by Laurens et al and I have posted it before.

It was a survey in the UK and Europe of around 1000-2000 transgender men and women. From memory, women had a slight increase in cardiovascular disease compared to natal females. There was a very slight increase in Ca breast compared to natal males.

Transmen had no significant increase in disease levels compared to natal males. They had a lower incidence of Ca breast compered to natal females (probably due to chest surgery and removal of oestrogen and not having had children).

I recall the conclusion was that gender reassignment in transgender males had no increase in morbidity.

I do know that the greatest risk to men is obesity driven issues. Probably true for all genders at the moment.
