LIMITATIONS:
A lack of individual-level data on socioeconomic factors and healthcare access could have influenced the findings. Although the SEER registries used standardized codes and procedures for classifying the data on race and ethnicity, misclassification was possible. Additionally, data on prognostic factors were incomplete or missing, which limited the inferences of the analysis.
