Sex disparities in advanced non-small cell lung cancer survival: A Danish nationwide study
This study increases our understanding of sex-based disparities in advanced NSCLC. Adjusted analyses addressing previously suggested explanations for sex disparities in survival still demonstrated a longer survival for females, indicating yet-unidentified sex differences with potential clinical implications. Our results underscore the critical role of acknowledging sex as a key variable in oncology trials, research, and clinical practice.
