[edit] Cancer Rates

Better defined: Ovarian cancer is essentially a mathematical impossibility since the population at risk (middle age and older transmen who are on HRT and who have retained their ovaries,) is simply too small for a disease with such a low prevalence even if the N of the study was 'every single person on the planet in this group.' With endometrial and cervical cancer its within the realm of epidemiological possibility, but I imagine with the amount of funding available to transgender research, that will finally be discovered just a few weeks before the eventual heat death of the universe.

[edit] Graft

Curious, why don't they just use tissue removed from the breast since they're removing it anyway? Karmafist 05:32, 25 November 2005 (UTC)
