Neighborhood deprivation and risk of mortality among men with prostate cancer: Findings from a long‐term follow‐up study

Abstract

The overall survival rate of prostate cancer (PCa) has improved over the past decades. However, huge socioeconomic and racial disparities in overall and prostate cancer‐specific mortality exist. The neighborhood‐level factors including socioeconomic disadvantage and lack of access to care may contribute to disparities in cancer mortality. This study examines the impact of neighborhood deprivation on mortality among PCa survivors.
