Abstract
Our study suggests that, similar to countries that lack a universal healthcare system, health disparity in thyroid cancer also exists in Canada. It appears that while thyroid cancers were diagnosed more frequently in Canadian patients of higher SES, Canadian patients in the lower SES groups had more advanced stage thyroid cancer at presentation.
