Survival Disparities in Early‐Onset Pancreatic Cancer (EOPC): The Role of Socioeconomic Status and Healthcare Access
Lower SES was consistently linked to worse EOPC survival, particularly in advanced stages. Addressing SES-related disparities through targeted interventions and healthcare policy reforms could improve outcomes across all disease stages. Further research into the unique tumor biology and molecular characteristics of EOPC is needed to better understand how SES influences disease progression and treatment response.
