摘要
Genetic and molecular disparities between men and women have a role in the differing incidence, pathophysiology, clinical signs, and treatment outcome of several cancers. Sex differences in cancer incidence are attributed to regulation at the genetic/molecular level and to sex hormones that in turn modulate gene expression in various cancers. Sex differences in the incidence of cancer, its aggressiveness, and the disease prognosis have been reported for several types of cancer but little is known for pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (PNENs). The aim of this Opinion article is to provide an overview of sex dif-ferences in PNENs in terms of epidemiology, pathophysiology, treatment responses, prognosis, and survival. This overview might allow better tailoring of the management of PNENs.
