Figure 2.
The comparison of male to female case number ratios by histologic subtypes in different primary sites, Taiwan.
Abbreviations: AC = adenocarcinoma; NET = neuroendocrine tumor; SCC = squamous cell carcinoma. P-values were generated by chi-square tests to compare the distribution of sex between AC or SCC and NET.
