The Yentl Syndrome, a term coined by Dr. Bernadine Healy in 1991, refers to the phenomenon that women are less likely to receive accurate diagnosis and treatment because their symptoms do not align with the "typical" presentations seen in men [1]. This discrepancy reflects sex and/or gender bias, where sex refers to biological differences and gender refers to social and cultural roles. This bias has been documented across various medical specialties, impacting the quality and accessibility of care for patients with serious, life-limiting illnesses [2–4].
