Hormone Related Tumours and Transsexuals

Hormone-related tumors in transsexuals receiving treatment with cross-sex hormones : A. Mueller, L. Gooren : European Journal of Endocrinology, Vol 159, Issue 3, 197-202 :

    There are so far only a few cases of hormone-related cancer in transsexuals. There may be an underreporting. The probability of a hormone-related tumor increases with the duration of exposure to cross-sex hormones and the aging of the population of transsexuals.
    ...
    Recently, a website has been opened for reporting side effects of cross-sex hormone treatment (http://www.wpath.org/resources_transgender.cfm).

    This contribution focuses on the risk of development of hormone-dependent malignancies in transsexuals. It will try to formulate some recommendations to reduce the risk of development of hormone-related malignancies and strategies which might lead to early diagnosis.
