Wasserfall, Tinus. (2014, October). Anal Dysplasia and Anal Cancer: What You Need to Know. Presented at the Gay Men's Health Summit, Vancouver, Canada.

Based on their cancer risk profile, gay men are likely to bear a disproportionate cancer burden. The good news is that some cancers can be prevented and the risks for many others can be lowered considerably through lifestyle changes and cancer screening. This presentation will review what’s known about cancer rates and risk factors in gay men and will discuss prevention and screening programs targeted at gay men.

Dr. Tinus Wasserfall will discuss challenges for gay men in accessing health care services for cancer prevention and control.
