Daniel C. McFarland, DO, director of the Psycho-Oncology Program at Wilmot Cancer Center and a medical oncologist who specializes in head, neck, and lung cancer, in addition to being the psycho-oncology editorial advisory board member for the journal ONCOLOGY, spoke with Charles S. Kamen, PhD, MPH, about health equity for sexual and gender minority groups in oncology, in the most recent episode of ONCOLOGY On the Go hosted in collaboration with the American Psychosocial Oncology Society.

According to Kamen, partners of LGBTQ+ patients may feel “side-lined” or excluded in key decision-making processes in oncology care because clinicians may assume they are friends or other support systems. In this clip, Kamen identified this observance and noted that these patients may often wonder whether it was due to potential adherence to heteronormativity or transphobia, as opposed to a doctor’s routine bedside manner. He suggested that clinicians should anticipate a greater sensitivity to cues of rejection among patients that are sexual or gender minority groups, which would prompt them to make a greater effort to include a patient’s support people in decision-making processes.

Kamen is an associate professor in the Department of Surgery, Cancer Control (SMD), and holds joint appointments as an associate professor at the Center for Community Health and Prevention and the Department of Psychiatry (SMD) at the University of Rochester Medical Center.
