Data are presented as % (95% confidence interval). Predicted margins were determined using logistic regression models with age, comorbidities, race/ethnicity, and sex as covariates. Some sample sizes were smaller based on missing data on specific outcomes.
Cancers with <25% 5-year survival rate (liver, lung, pancreas, and stomach).
