absolutely not, these cancer cells can attack both men and women
I don't know the answer to the question, but the previous answer, "absolutely not, these cancer cells can attack both men and women" does not answer it. Sex-linked traits/genes can appear in both men and women.
Sex-linked traits have alleles that are passed from parent to child on a sex chromosome.
Sex-linked traits
Sex-linked genes, genes found on one of the sex chromosomes (X or Y) but not the other. Most sex-linked genes are X-linked because the female chromosome is longer.
A gene that is found on the X chromosome and not the Y chromosome is a sex-linked gene. That is why men tend to get only certain diseases. For instance, certain types of color blindness are recessive and carried only on the X chromosome. So if the mother carries the gene, then if the father donates another X, thus creating a daughter, then she will likely not have color blindness, since the father's X chromosome should balance it out if he doesn't have color blindness. However, a son with the affected gene from the mother would be certain to get it since that is the only gene he has concerning the red and green vision receptors.
This is sex linked and is inherited through the parents.
No

The gene for hemophilia is sex-linked.
No, a gene is either autosomal or sex-linked, but never both.
