The impact of social determinants of health on textbook oncological outcomes and overall survival in locally advanced non–small cell lung cancerCentral MessagePerspective

Objectives: Textbook oncological outcome (TOO) is a composite metric for surgical outcomes, including non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We hypothesized that social determinants of health (SDH) can affect both the attainment of TOO and the overall survival (OS) in surgically resected NSCLC patients with pathological nodal disease. Methods: We queried the National Cancer Database (2010-2017) for preoperative therapy-naïve lobectomies for NSCLC with tumor size
