BACKGROUND: When a discrepancy exists between an individual's biologic sex and the deeply felt sense of being male or female, a transgender orientation may result. .
OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this article is to summarize breast cancer risk assessment and screening recommendations for transgender individuals. .
METHODS: A review of the literature was done to determine if evidence-based screening guidelines exist for transgender individuals and how they can be applied to clinical practice. .
