Abstract
Description
Quality of life and care are important aspects of cancer
survivorship and there is now a greater focus on
recovery, health and well being after treatment. While
Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Trans (LGBT) people report many
good experiences of care, there are some areas that still need
attention. These case examples of practice are intended to
support professionals to personalise care for LGBT people
with cancer. The guidance aims to give practical advice
where cancer professionals may feel unsure or embarrassed
about what to say without fear of causing offence
