Impact of Social Determinants on Melanoma Outcomes in Canada: A Single‐Centre Retrospective Study
Higher SES reduced stage II-IV risk without affecting survival, stage III-IV risk, or recurrence time. Distance to nearest hospital had no significant effect. Females had longer time to recurrence and lower odds of advanced disease. Future research should explore potential educational and primary care barriers that may contribute to advanced stages in lower InQ populations.
