Exploring the association between Cultural and Linguistic Diversity (CALD) on treatment and outcomes in pancreatic cancer: an analysis of PURPLE real-world registry data from an Australian population
CALD status was associated with multiple adverse prognostic factors (age, PS, comorbidities), which likely impacted differences in treatment received and challenges analysis of the independent impact of CALD status on outcomes. Notably, however, there were no striking differences by CALD status in treatment delivered or survival outcomes.
