Do Men and Women Respond Differently to Cancer Treatment?

When it comes to cancer treatment, men and women often have similar medical responses. But treatment planning sometimes requires extra considerations for women, as explained by Dr. Vijay Agarwal in conversation with Dhruv Gupta, Co-founder of Orange Health Labs, in this episode of The Orange Club Podcast.

Why Side Effects Can Feel Different

While treatment outcomes are generally alike, the experience of side effects can vary. For instance, hair loss is one of the most visible consequences of therapy. Men may be less affected by it, but for many women, it is a significant concern. Some even request alternative treatment options to help protect their hair.

The Role of Menstrual Health During Treatment

Cancer treatment can sometimes lead to heavy bleeding when blood counts drop. For women, this can compound existing challenges related to menstruation. It is not uncommon for patients to begin treatment with low hemoglobin due to iron deficiency, which makes careful monitoring even more important.

Why Individualized Care Matters

Although men and women respond to treatment in broadly the same way, doctors often tailor their approach for women by paying closer attention to these unique challenges. Factoring in menstrual health, hemoglobin levels, and the emotional weight of visible side effects ensures more holistic care.
