Summary: This study confirmed the impact of SES on predicting the survival of HCC patients and established a nomogram for predicting the prognosis. The results showed that SES plays a significant role in the prognosis of HCC patients, suggesting that more precise policies based on SES can improve patients' survival rates.

Summary: The study evaluated the survival of patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma in relation to socioeconomic status and found that patients in the poorest socioeconomic status were more likely to have advanced cancer and less likely to receive radiation therapy.

Summary: This large population-based study evaluated the impact of socioeconomic status (SES) on cancer-specific survival (CSS) of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients and found an association between SES factors and survival. The study also proposed a novel staging system that combined SES factors with TNM stage and demonstrated its superior predictive value compared to the traditional TNM stage.

Summary: The study found that HCC incidence was higher in lower income areas and regions with lower urbanicity among US adults, likely due to differences in risk factors, health behaviors, and barriers in access to healthcare services.

Summary: This study aimed to examine the independent impact of Median Household Income (MHI) on prognosis and survival outcomes in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). The results indicated that higher MHI was associated with improved survival outcomes, although this association was not significant in certain populations.

Summary: This study analyzed the impact of socioeconomic status (SES) on cancer-specific survival (CSS) and overall survival (OS) in stage III colon adenocarcinoma patients who received guideline-concordant treatment. Results showed that lower SES was associated with disparities in CSS and OS, despite receiving guideline-based treatment.

Summary: The study found that patients with hepatocellular carcinoma who had single organ metastasis had a better prognosis than those with multiple organ metastasis. Certain factors such as age, gender, tumor differentiation, tumor size, and metastatic sites were found to be associated with the prognosis of patients with distant metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma.

Summary: This study aimed to construct and validate prognostic nomograms for massive hepatocellular carcinoma (MHCC) with a tumor size of at least 10 cm. The researchers used clinic data from 1292 MHCC patients to identify independent factors associated with cancer-specific survival (CSS) and overall survival (OS) and developed nomograms based on these factors. The nomograms showed satisfactory predictive accuracy and potential clinical application in assessing individualized prognosis and guiding therapeutic selection for MHCC patients.

Summary: Parathyroid carcinoma is a rare endocrine malignancy that mainly affects older Caucasian individuals with a slight male predominance. The majority of patients undergo surgery, with a 5-year survival rate of 84%. Factors such as tumor size, age, sex, race, metastasis, and tumor differentiation are associated with an increased risk of death.

Summary: The study aimed to construct a new scoring system to predict the survival of early-stage hepatocellular carcinoma in middle-aged patients. The results showed that the model had good accuracy and reliability, and outperformed traditional staging methods in terms of predictive ability.

Summary: The study found an association between higher neighborhood disadvantage and higher stroke risk in Sweden and Japan, but not in the United States. The relationship between neighborhood socioeconomic status (nSES) and stroke risk within different racial groups in the United States was inconclusive. Additional research is needed to investigate potential intermediate and modifiable factors of the association between nSES and stroke incidence, which could serve as intervention points.

Summary: This study examines the impact of public insurance status on the survival outcomes of HCC patients after liver resection in China. The results show that underinsured HCC patients have worse survival outcomes after liver resection. This may be due to the limited access to care for underinsured patients, but further exploration is needed for conclusive evidence.

Summary: This study conducted a systematic epidemiological and clinical analysis of meningiomas. The study found that most meningioma patients were over the age of 60, and the incidence rates were higher in females, black individuals, and non-Hispanic individuals, and increased with age. Older age, male sex, black race, and tumor size may be important prognostic factors for meningioma cases, and tumor resection can substantially improve survival among meningioma patients.

Summary: A prognostic score model based on multivariate Cox regression was developed to predict survival outcomes and stratify stage. and. hepatocellular carcinoma patients. The model consistently outperformed conventional staging systems in training, internal, and external validation sets. The scoring system may offer insights for risk stratification in clinical practice and trials for these patients.

Summary: Lower SES is associated with worse outcomes in paranasal sinus cancer. Patients with lower SES are more likely to be diagnosed at later stages and less likely to receive multimodal therapy. SES primarily affects 5-year CDSS for regional/distant disease.
