Report Links Estrogen Hormone Therapy to Thyroid Cancer in Three Transgender Veterans
Oct 16, 2024, 04:10 PM

All three individuals, born male and identifying as female, underwent hormone therapy and subsequently were diagnosed with cancer.

The report has prompted calls from doctors for further investigation into the safety of hormone treatments for transgender individuals.
