Abstract
For approximately six months in 2020-21 The National LGBT Cancer Network fielded Out: The National Cancer Survey. A total of 2,700 respondents were received. While only a small fraction of the estimated 100,000 LGBTQI people in the U.S. who are diagnosed with cancer every year, this represents the largest such survey of its kind, yielding new insights into the experiences of LGBTQI people with cancer. Top themes of responses included the following: while many reported welcoming care trans or BIPOC people reported less welcome; getting support for our families of choice was more complicated; few could access desired tailored resources; and there was a reported level of rudeness that may represent micro-aggressions. This presentation will give an overview of the major findings and further areas of inquiry emerging from these findings and present back reflections on what these data say about future areas of mainstream and LGBTQI cancer research.
