About The Study: Neighborhood disadvantage was independently associated with shorter breast cancer–specific survival even after controlling for individual-level factors, tumor characteristics, and treatment in this national cohort study of 350,000 patients with breast cancer. This suggests potential unaccounted-for mechanisms, including both nonbiologic factors and biologic factors.
