Lower community socioeconomic status is associated with delayed diagnosis and treatment, and lower survival for Head and Neck Cancer patients. Rural-Urban disparities in Head and Neck Cancer outcomes are minimal after conditioning on community socioeconomic status. In low socioeconomic communities, we still observe significant disparities in delayed diagnosis and treatment for non-Hispanic Black adults. The extent to which community-level factors may explain individual-level differences varies by HPV etiology of Head and Neck Cancer patients. Head and Neck Cancer (HNC) is a major cause of cancer morbidity and mortality in the United States, but the burden is not evenly distributed. Rural and racial disparities are obvious across the HNC continuum. Most HNC disparities research have emphasized individual factors perpetuating rural and racial disparities, ignoring the role of community-level factors. We analyzed data from the Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) program’s “Specialized HNC-Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Census-Tract SES” datafile (2010–2016). In addition to cancer patient characteristics, this data includes a socioeconomic status (SES) quintile based on the patient’s census-tract. Our outcome variables included whether the HNC patient 1) was diagnosed at a distant stage, 2) received initial treatment two or more months after diagnosis, 3) received radiation therapy, 4) survived two years after diagnosis. We tested for differences across SES quintiles, in the full sample and then within rural/racial categories. We then tested for differences between each rural/racial category conditional on SES quintile. For both HPV(−) and HPV + HNCs, patients in higher SES census-tracts have 8–10% lower rates of distant stage diagnoses and delayed treatment initiation, and 12.0–14.5% higher survival rates than patients in lower SES census-tracts. Radiation treatment only varied across SES quintiles in HPV + HNC patients. We find little evidence of rural–urban differences within each socioeconomic quintile. However, within lower SES quintiles, we found significant racial disparities in delayed detection and treatment. These differences were largest in the lowest SES quintile, as non-Hispanic Black patients reported 10–11% higher rates of delayed detection and treatment initiation than non-Hispanic White patients. Our research illustrates the value and constraints in leveraging community-level factors in health disparities research that can ultimately assist in designing effective policies that address and achieve rural and racial cancer equity.
