Geographic Variations in Demographics, Socioeconomic Status, and Stage at Diagnosis Among Hormone Receptor–positive Invasive Ductal Carcinoma: An NCDB Analysis (2004-2020)
Significant variation exists in the demographic and SES profile of patients with HR+ IDC, corresponding to differences in stage at diagnosis, and BC-related overall outcomes. These disparities likely reflect inequities in screening access, SES, and healthcare infrastructure, underscoring the need for region-specific public health strategies. Targeted regional interventions and equitable screening expansion are warranted to reduce geographic disparities and improve overall BC-related outcomes.
