Expanding the Spectrum of Awareness
Learn Look Locate is proud to announce the launch of a critical new webpage: “LGBTQ+ and Breast Cancer Awareness.” Directed by Dr. Maryam Lustberg, a prominent figure in breast cancer care and Medical Advisor for Learn Look Locate, this page aims to highlight the distinct challenges and healthcare disparities faced by the LGBTQ+ community in the context of breast cancer awareness.
Rethinking Pinktober: Inclusivity in Focus

Addressing LGBTQ+ Specific Challenges
The new webpage delves into the varied experiences of LGBTQ+ individuals in breast cancer screening and treatment, emphasizing the importance of transgender-inclusive language and the need for sensitivity to medical distrust and discrimination fears. It acknowledges the hesitation in seeking preventive care and highlights the reasons behind this reluctance.
Insightful Guidelines for LGBTQ+ Breast Cancer Risks
The page provides essential guidelines for understanding breast cancer risks specific to the LGBTQ+ community, offering advice on screening recommendations and highlighting factors that might elevate risk levels. It also focuses on how socio-economic disparities and healthcare accessibility challenges impact screening and treatment processes.

A key section on the webpage discusses the complex decisions surrounding hormonal therapy post-breast cancer diagnosis, emphasizing the importance of shared decision-making and finding a supportive healthcare team attuned to the needs of the LGBTQ+ community.
