Mode of Patient Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Disclosure and Receipt of Tailored Cancer Resources

Is the mode of sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) disclosure associated with receipt of clinical resources tailored to LGBTQ+ individuals among cancer survivors?In this cross-sectional study of a national sample of 2342 LGBTQ+ cancer survivors, those who self-disclosed or did not disclose SOGI information were less likely to receive at least 1 LGTBQ+ clinical resource compared with those who had SOGI information collected by the clinic.This study suggests that continued efforts for systematic SOGI data collection and use are needed to improve delivery of tailored resources and care for LGBTQ+ people with cancer.
