Abstract Background International policy frameworks have strengthened advocacy for gender equality, as agreed in SDG 3. However, gender considerations in research and the related methodological approaches often focus on gender-oriented topics in the global North with little attention on gender perspectives in ostensibly neutral disciplines such as health, and with even less consideration in African societies. The aim is to illustrate how feminist research principles, sensitivity to gender relations and gender performance are cross-cutting and integral in the use of patient-centered methods, ethics and culture. Methods Material was taken from an ethnographic study based on in-depth qualitative interviews conducted with cancer patients in Accra, Ghana. Eight cases studies of women diagnosed of breast cancer, ovarian, endometrium or cervical cancer were selected for the present analysis. Results In highly gendered societies like Africa health research is shaped by the peculiar ethical considerations on gender and cultural issues. This leads to a situation where female researchers may have favourable opportunities for gathering qualitative material because of gender stereotypes. However, they face gendered expectations of their research participants during data collection periods, and this may provoke adverse reactions, if the researcher does not meet the expectations. Education into patient-centred methods, therefore, must strengthen competencies of health professionals to critically reflect their own gendered realities and confront masculinity and femininity reactions by research participants, while being culturally sensitive and ethical at the same time. Conclusions Advocacy for gender approaches in global health education is important but not sufficient. Action is needed to develop a methodological approach sensitive to the gendered conditions of patient-centred research in the Global South.
