ABSTRACT

This cross-sectional study reveals enrichment of women oncology physicians on X (formerly Twitter) from typically male-dominated fields, as well as higher time-adjusted levels of self-engagement, suggestive of an inherent desire for women to engage on social media for professional use, though the longitudinal impact of these behavioral differences on existing gender disparities is worthy of further study.
