Disparities in Cardio-Oncology for the LGBTQI+ Populations and Actionable Strategies to Reduce Them Agender, asexual, bisexual, gay, gender diverse, genderqueer, genderfluid, intersex, lesbian, nonbinary, pansexual, queer, and transgender (LGBTQI+) people have a higher incidence of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and cancer due to biological, behavioral, social, economic, cultural, and geographical factors. The complex heterogeneity of this population makes it even more difficult to analyze and implement measures to reduce disparities. These strategies must be implemented by involving communities and soliciting the commitment of researchers and clinicians. SGM = sex and gender minority; SO/GI = sexual orientation/gender identity.
