Survival Determinants and Sociodemographic Disparities in Early-Onset Non–Small Cell Lung Cancer
In this cohort study of 18 595 patients with early-onset NSCLC, most patients were diagnosed at advanced stages. Modifiable factors, including household income, residence, and time to treatment, were associated with survival outcomes. These findings support the need for increased awareness, early detection strategies, and efforts to reduce socioeconomic disparities in adults with NSCLC.
