癌症预防、检测和治疗方面的进步导致发病率和过早死亡率的降低，生活质量的提高。然而，并不是所有的美国人都能平等地从这些进步中受益，某些人群在癌症治疗方面仍然存在差异。尽管研究和公共卫生努力强调了一些群体的经历，但对其他人群的研究相对不足，例如女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋和变性人（LGBT）。在监测、研究、项目和伙伴关系方面的公共卫生努力可以提供机会，在人口水平上促进LGBT群体的健康平等，并为患有癌症的LGBT群体带来更好的健康结果。
Advances in cancer prevention, detection, and treatment have led to reductions in morbidity and premature mortality and improvements in quality of life. However, not all Americans have benefited equally from these advances, and certain populations experience continued disparities in cancer care. Although research and public health efforts have highlighted the experiences of some groups, other populations have been relatively understudied, such as lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) individuals. Public health efforts in surveillance, research, programs, and partnerships can provide opportunities to advance health equity for LGBT at the population level and lead to better health outcomes for LGBT individuals with cancer.
