Men bear a disproportionately higher burden of cancer even for cancers that are not specific to either sex. Although this pattern is global, the reasons for this difference remain mysterious. A recent study set out to investigate ...
The differences in male and female sex hormones are most evident during growth, puberty and reproduction, when they help shape how the body develops and functions. Beyond their more visible effects, these chemical messengers ...
About 9% of men of reproductive age in the United States experience fertility problems. One of the many causes of male infertility is a failure in germline development, the process by which embryonic cells develop into sperm ...
Imperial College London investigators compared focal therapy with prostate removal surgery for men with prostate cancer that returned after radiotherapy. Matched analyses estimated 10-year cancer-specific survival at 92% ...
