Men and women are different: Why medical oncology needs to restate the obvious

(European Society for Medical Oncology) Gender-based approaches to studying and treating disease have remained largely unexplored in medical oncology, despite the field's growing interest in precision medicine and accumulating evidence that sex is a major factor in disease risk and response to treatment. At the ESMO workshop, 'Gender medicine meets oncology,' to be held in Lausanne, Switzerland, on Nov. 30-Dec. 1, 2018, a multidisciplinary faculty of experts will discuss the concepts and methods of gender medicine and their implications for clinical practice and research in oncology.
