Help Mayo/UMN improve inclusion of LGBTQ+ people in cancer research
The Elsie Study at the University of Minnesota has partnered with the Mayo Clinic to improve how LGBTQ+ people are included in cancer research studies.
We want to hear from everyone: those who are part of the LGBTQ+ community and those who don't identify with particular labels. We especially want to hear and uplift perspectives from people with different racial, ethnic, and cultural backgrounds.
Interested in our online, anonymous survey?
You can take part in this study if you:
- Reside within the United States
- Have been diagnosed with cancer
- Are 18 years of age or older
Mayo Clinic is committed to respecting and honoring the confidentiality and privacy of everyone who takes part in research and helps us improve health care.

3 ReactionsAny study that specifically captures data relevant to healthcare for the LGBTQIA2S+ community gets my support. It's particularly helpful for those of us "of a certain age." The availability of data specific to the geriatric members of this community (and also with a higher likelihood of a cancer diagnosis) is desperately needed. I had a cancer scare last year and after numerous, highly invasive tests, was told I carry a cancer marker, but nothing immediately located. Every adult male in my bio-family succumbed to some form of cancer, so this data is very relevant to me.
