Abstract

Nearly 1 in 20 patients receiving cancer-directed surgery for the most common or deadly cancers die within 1 month of the procedure, with unmarried, uninsured, non-white, male, older, less educated, and poorer patients at a higher risk for 1-month mortality. Reduction of 1-month surgical mortality and sociodemographic disparities thereof may improve survival among patients with cancer.
