The Intersectionality between Race, Ethnicity, and Residential-Level Socioeconomic Status in Disparities of Head and Neck Cancer Outcomes: A SEER Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Head and neck cancer (HNC) mortality differs by race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status (SES). However, it is unclear whether the relationship between race/ethnicity and HNC-specific mortality varies according to the residence-level SES.

Methods

Data from the Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results database included participants with primary HNC between 2006 and 2017 (followed through 2018) to assess the joint association of race/ethnicity and census-tract level SES Yost-index groups (quintiles) with all-cause and HNC-specific mortalities. Relative survival rates at 1, 5, and 10 years were calculated. Multivariable Cox proportional hazard regression models estimated hazard-ratios and 95% confidence intervals for all-cause mortality, and Fine-Gray subdistributi
