Abstract

Individualized breast cancer risk assessment should be considered for transmasculine patients pursuing gender-affirming mastectomy to identify and educate high-risk patients about the option for risk-reduction gender-affirming mastectomy. This reduces oncologic risk while achieving the desired cosmetic outcome, ultimately enhancing preventative care provided to an underserved population.
