- It included data from 1293 patients diagnosed from 2010 to 2018, highlighting significant disparities in outcomes and survival rates between those treated in public versus private institutions.
- The findings suggest that late diagnosis and limited access to effective treatments in public facilities contribute to poorer survival rates, while patients receiving modern therapies and autologous stem cell transplants have survival rates comparable to international standards.
