Sex-related differences in oncological surgery and postoperative outcomes: comprehensive, nationwide study in France
Women were much more likely than men to undergo cancer surgery than men, but the likelihood of surgery decreased with advancing age and with increasing number of co-morbid conditions, especially in women. These findings highlight a need for both increased awareness and strategies to ensure gender equality in access to oncological surgical treatment and improved outcomes.
