The hypothesis was that disparities in time from diagnosis to definitive surgery (TTDS) exist between Asian groups. The National Cancer Database (2004-2020) was used to populate a sample of 1388 Asian patients with melanoma. Adjusting for sociodemographic factors with East Asian patients as the reference group, Southeast and South Asian melanoma patients had around 3 times the odds of a TTDS over 90 days. Table 1.
