FIGUEREDO, Rogério Carvalho de et al. Debating Prostate Cancer in Cisgender Men and Transgender Women. Revista urug. enferm. (En línea) [online]. 2023, vol.18, n.1, e503.  Epub June 01, 2923. ISSN 2301-0371.  https://doi.org/10.33517/rue2023v18n1a3.

Prostate cancer is considered the second most prevalent type of cancer in men and the fifth leading cause of death worldwide. Although there are programs aimed at this problem, their scope is still limited due to inequity of sex, gender and sexual orientation, highlighting the need for actions that reach both cis men and trans women. Therefore, the objective was to critically reflect on preventive campaigns on Prostate Cancer in cisgender men and transgender women. The theoretical reflection method was adopted, initially through the search and reading of articles, followed by the problematization of the findings, with emphasis on the main concepts and actions developed in Brazil on the subject. The epidemiological and political context and the need for change in the health care of that population were highlighted, which indicate the need for a new look at this public and the effectiveness of the actions that are carried out.

Keywords : Health Care; Cisgender People; Transgender People; Prostate Neoplasms.
