摘要: To investigate the effect of race and sex on long-term survival oral oropharyngeal cancer. The Surveillance, Epidemiology End Results database was queried for adult cancer patients with at least 25-year follow-up. Kaplan–Meier curves cox proportional hazards model were used to identify differences. Of 22,162 identified, 70.3 % males. Only 8.9 % alive 25 years post-diagnosis. Black males show poorest overall disease-specific rates (p < 0.001). After controlling covariates, Blacks had a 40 % higher hazard mortality compared Whites (HR 1.40, 95 % CI 1.35–1.46), while females 9 % reduction in risk 0.91, 0.88–0.94). Overall is poor patients, men fare worst. This illustrates need plans incorporating disparity effects outcomes.
