Insights into sex differences in perioperative outcomes of non-small cell lung cancer patients
Female NSCLC patients demonstrated lower incidence of complications, shorter postoperative length of stays, and less hospitalization cost after surgery. Those differences between men and women could be explained by their inherent biological differences and baseline health status. Perioperative management strategies for NSCLC should prioritize recognizing the potentially poorer outcomes among male patients and implementing tailored precautions accordingly.
