Abstract
Transgender is defined as an incongruence between the assigned at birth sex and an experienced gender identity. The biological sex is neither familiar nor acceptable to transgender people. Gender-affirming hormone treatment (GHT) is a multidisciplinary approach aiming to develop and maintain physical characteristics of the desirable sex. The influence of exogenous hormones on the cancer pathogenesis and development is a subject of ceaseless studies and observations. However incomplete statistical and epidemiological data hamper deducing about the risk of cancer among these people. The article describes a case of a transgender female-to-male (FtM) patient during gender transition with two primary neoplasms (endometrial cancer and colon cancer) as well as Lynch syndrome and von Recklinghausen’s disease confirmed by next-generation sequencing (NGS).
