METHODS
We included 8713 children aged 0 – 19 years with newly diagnosed
primary brain and CNS tumors between 2000 – 2015 from the Census
Tract-level SES and Rurality Database developed by Surveillance,
Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) Program. We used Chi-square tests to
assess differences in sociodemographic, cancer, and treatment
characteristics by race/ethnicity and Kaplan–Meier curves and Cox
proportional hazards models to examine differences in 10-year survival,
adjusting for these characteristics.
