Abstract
The purpose of this systematic review is to examine the breast cancer risk among transgender individuals undergoing GAHT. The review is guided by Dorothea Orem's Self-Care Deficit Nursing Theory, emphasizing the importance of self-care in healthcare and the role of nursing interventions in supporting transgender individuals' self-care related to breast cancer risk. This study aims to provide insights into the medical implications of GAHT in the transgender community, thereby aiding in informed healthcare decisions.
