Analysis reveals that health insurance impacts treatment at specialized cancer centers for adolescents and young adults with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Key Points

Lower odds of treatment at a specialized cancer center were associated with being uninsured, especially in New York, highlighting disparities in access to care.
Logistic regression showed significant associations between travel time and treatment at specialized care centers for adolescents and young adults diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
The cohort included 4,211 AYAs with acute lymphoblastic leukemia across California, New York, and Texas, reflecting diverse demographics and insurance status.
Barriers including travel time and health insurance accessibility are critical for improving outcomes in AYAs receiving leukemia treatment.
