Breast cancer in transgender women: A case report

The risk of breast cancer in transgender women continues to be a topic of debate in the medical literature. Studies have theorized an increased risk in transgender women taking feminizing hormone therapy on the basis of established risk factors and histological characteristics in cisgender men and established increased risk in cisgender women on hormone replacement therapy. Historically, testing this theory has been challenging due to a relative lack of cases and large-scale, long-term studies reported in the literature.
