Association between socioeconomic factors at diagnosis and survival in breast cancer: A population-based study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The associations between socioeconomic statuses and survival outcomes of breast cancer remain unclear. No model has included both histological and socioeconomic factors to predict the survival of breast cancer. This study was designed to develop nomograms to predict breast cancer-specific survival (BCSS) and overall survival (OS) with consideration of socioeconomic factors for breast cancer patients.

Materials and methods

We included a total of 207 749 female patients, diagnosed with malignant breast cancer between 2007 and 2012 from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database. BCSS and OS were evaluated with Gray's test and log-rank tests, respectively. Marital statuses, insurance statuses, residence, median household income, poverty rate, unemployme
