Cancer Risk In Delaying Sex Assignment Surgery

An editorial and a case report on Disorders of Sexual Development
(DSD) in the Medical Journal of Australia highlight the need for early
diagnosis and effective risk management in these rare but potentially
life threatening cases.

DSD describes conditions in which patients are born with ambiguous
genitalia; DSD were previously described by terms such as 'intersex',
'hermaphroditism' and 'testicular feminisation'.
