Population-based studies report worse survival for non-White children and AYAs but have limited data on individual therapeutic exposures. This study examined overall and HL-specific survival in a population-based cohort of patients while adjusting for sociodemographic factors and treatment.MethodsData for 4807 patients younger than 40 years with HL (2007-2017) were obtained from the California Cancer Registry.
