In this context, the aim of the ideal management of cancer patients is to achieve the best possible balance between the two different issues to be considered, which include the risk of cancer progression and the risk of infectious disease.

Analyses of sex-ratio variation have been mainly done in dioecious plants, which misses key plant sexual systems that might represent intermediate stages in the evolution of dioecy from hermaphroditism. We investigated female frequency across populations of sexually dimorphic plant species in relation to environmental stressors (temperature, precipitation), totaling 342 species, 2011 populations, representing 40 orders and 3 different sexual systems (dioecy, gynodioecy, and subdioecy). We also included the biome where the population was located to test how female frequency may vary more broadly with climatic conditions. After correcting for phylogeny, our results for gynodioecious systems showed a positive relationship between female frequency and increased environmental stress, with the main effects being temperature-related. Subdioecious systems showed also strong positive relationships with temperature and positive and negative relationships related to precipitation, whilst no significant effects on sex ratio in dioecious plants were detected. Combined, we show that female frequencies in intermediate sexual system on the pathway from hermaphroditism to dioecy respond strongly to environmental str
