Study finds why men face higher risk of most cancers than women
Updated : 3 years, 7 months ago IST
Washington [US], August 13 (ANI): Men have a higher incidence of most cancers than women. A study showed that the cause could be underlying biological sex differences rather than behavioural differences related to smoking, alcohol consumption, food, and other things.
