ASO Author Reflections: Socioeconomic Disparities in Pancreas Cancer Resection and Survival in the Veterans Health Administration

Summary: In the VHA system, factors such as race, marital status, and employment status are associated with pancreatic cancer resection, while geographic region and employment status are associated with survival after resection. However, factors like race, Hispanic ethnicity, marital status, and Social Deprivation Index are not independently associated with survival after resection. Further studies are needed to explore the basis for these inequities.
