When it comes to cervical cancer screening, studies indicate that compared to cisgender women, Transmen report the following: higher rates of abnormal results, higher likelihood of not have a cervical cancer screening in their lifetime, and lower likelihood of receiving regular screening. Transmen are 37% less likely to be current with their Pap test than cisgender patients, 10 times more likely to have had an inadequate Pap test, and have a higher probability of multiple inadequate Pap tests. (Adkins et al., 2018; Rahman et al., 2019; Kiran et al., 2019; Peitzmeier et al., 2014a,b)
