Ethnicity, socio-economic position and gender--do they affect reported health-care seeking behaviour?

Ethnicity, socio-economic position, and gender do not affect patients' willingness to seek immediate health care, suggesting barriers in healthcare provision rather than self-referral.

Cancer: Gender differences at the molecular level

Males have a higher susceptibility to non-sex-specific cancers, with molecular differences in gene expression and epigenetics playing a role, but more experimental data is needed to understand the exact nature of this difference for better diagnosis and treatment.
