2023, Preventive MedicineThe association of low socioeconomic status with advanced stage thyroid cancer
2021, Journal of Taibah University Medical SciencesCitation Excerpt :For example, the effect of a high mean age on the diagnosis of thyroid cancer is present in a large number of widowed and divorced patients.24 Furthermore, married patients are considered to have better financial status, social support, housing, lifestyle, and access to healthcare.25 Moreover, it has been observed that SES disparities have a huge impact on the difference in healthcare quality and accessibility.6,26,27
Socioeconomic status, race, and long-term outcomes after radical prostatectomy in an equal access health system: Results from the SEARCH database
2019, Urologic Oncology: Seminars and Original InvestigationsCitation Excerpt :They found complex relationships between SES and PC incidence, treatment, and outcomes [5,11,18]. While some studies found no association between SES and PC incidence, others linked increased education and income with increased risk, or lower income with increased risk of distant-stage PC and worse PCSM [8,9,17,19,20]. This may be explained by access to care and screening in some settings, but does not explain our findings that low SES black men are less likely to experience CRPC, metastasis, and PCSM than low SES white men.
Female, Black, and Unmarried Patients Are More Likely to Present With Metastatic Bladder Urothelial Carcinoma
2016, Clinical Genitourinary CancerCitation Excerpt :Despite knowledge of these racial disparities, further work and intervention are required to improve these outcomes.7,8 The role of marital status has been well established as a prognostic factor for cancer patients including bladder cancer.23-26 Compared to unmarried patients, married patients have improved outcomes and are less likely to present with advanced disease.10,23,27
Socioeconomic inequalities in prostate cancer survival: A review of the evidence and explanatory factors
2015, Social Science and MedicineCitation Excerpt :Perceived barriers to care and perceptions and attitudes toward participatory decision making are unfavourably affected by lower health literacy (Yin et al., 2012). Furthermore, psychosocial factors like being married were shown to improve survival significantly after prostate cancer diagnosis and should additionally be taken into account when analysing disparities (Harvei and Kravdal, 1997; Kravdal, 2013a, 2001). And, although lifestyle behaviour plays a minor role in the reviewed studies, it could also be relevant for further analyses.
