The goal this study was to examine the relationship between patients with cancer. Results: Compared unmarried (42.67%), married (57.33%) had better 5-year OS (25.64% vs. 35.89%, p = 0.009) TCSS (44.58% 58.75%, 0.004). Results multivariate indicated that factor, showing (hazard ratio [HR] 0.78, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.64–0.95, 0.015) (HR 0.70, CI 0.54–0.91, 0.008). In addition, subgroup suggested plays a more important role non-low-grade malignant tumors 0.71, 0.53–0.93, 0.015). Methods: We extracted 600 cases from Surveillance, End (SEER) database. Variables were compared by Pearson chi-squared test, t -test, log-rank Cox regression analysis. Overall (OS) cancer-specific (TCSS) subgroups different pathologic features tumor stages. Conclusions: Marital for For reason, additional social support may be needed patients, especially those tumors.
