Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention, 2020

Abstract

Background: Over 114,000 new cases of lymphoid malignancies (LM), including Hodgkin lymphoma (HL), Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) and multiple myeloma (MM), are diagnosed annually. However, little is known about the influence of socioeconomic status (SES) on LM survival among Hispanics, who comprise 18% of the US population. This study evaluates the association between area-based SES and survival of Hispanic LM patients compared with non-Hispanic whites and non-Hispanics blacks. Methods: All LM reported to the NCI Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program (SEER-18) diagnosed between 2000-2015 were included. Census tract-level socioeconomic status (SES) was assessed in tertiles. Cox proportional hazards models estimated hazard ratios (aHR) to evaluate SES with cause-specific survival, adjusted for sex, stage at diagnosis, radiation, surgery and chemotherapy. All analyses were stratified by race/ethnicity. Results: Hispanics with low SES diagnosed with MM were 30% (aHR:1.3, 95% ...
