Overview

Randomized trial examined pediatric cancer survival rates, highlighting significant disparities in outcomes among different groups.

Key Points

  • This research aims to analyze survival outcomes for pediatric cancer patients in the US from 2001 to 2021 and identify disparities.
  • Calculated 5- and 10-year relative survival using the National Program of Cancer Registries database covering 87.4% of the US population.
  • Stratified results by age, sex, race, economic status, cancer type, stage, and year of diagnosis.
  • Utilized the Kaplan-Meier method for all-cause survival calculations with log-rank testing.
  • 5-year relative survival (RS) was 84.7%, and 10-year RS was 82.3%.
  • Improvement in 5-year RS from 83.0% (2001-2011) to 86.8% (2012-2021).
  • Non-Hispanic Black patients had lower 5- and 10-year RS (79.2% and 76.3%) compared to non-Hispanic White patients (86.3% and 84.0%).
