Sociodemographic Disparities in Differentiated Thyroid Cancer Survival Among Adolescents and Young Adults in California

Abstract

Despite the generally good prognosis among AYAs with DTC, we identified subgroups of AYA patients at risk for poor outcomes. Further study of the factors underlying these associations, including possible barriers to receiving high-quality treatment and follow-up care, as well as lifestyle factors, are critical to reducing these disparities.
