143 Background: Childhood cancer survival varies by race/ethnicity in the United States. This study evaluated the impact of potentially modifiable characteristics - health insurance and area-level social deprivation - on racial/ethnic disparities in childhood cancer survival nationwide. Methods: We identified 65,113 childhood cancer patients aged < 18 years newly diagnosed with any of 10 common cancer types (e.g. central nervous system (CNS) neoplasms, acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), Hodgkin lymphoma) from the 2004-2014 National Cancer Database. Cox proportional hazard models were used to compare survival probabilities by race and ethnicity (non-Hispanic white (NHW) vs non-Hispanic black (NHB), Hispanic, and non-Hispanic other (NH other)) for each cancer type. We conducted mediation analyses by the mma R package to evaluate the racial/ethnic survival disparities mediated by health insurance (private, Medicaid, and uninsured) and social deprivation index (SDI) quartile. SDI is a composite measure of deprivation based on seven characteristics (e.g. income, education, employment). Results: Compared to NHW, worse survival were observed for NHB (HR (hazard ratio): 1.4, 95% CI: 1.3-1.5), Hispanic (HR: 1.2, 95% CI: 1.1-1.2), and NH other (HR: 1.2, 95% CI: 1.1-1.3) for all cancer sites combined after adjusting for sociodemographic characteristics other than health insurance and SDI. Health insurance explained 20% of the survival disparities and SDI explained 19% of the disparity between NHB vs NHW; health insurance explained 48% of the survival disparities and SDI explained 45% of the disparity between Hispanic vs NHW. For ALL, health insurance significantly explained 15% and 18% of the survival disparities between NHB and Hispanic vs NHW, respectively. SDI significantly explained 19% and 31% of the disparities, respectively. Conclusions: Health insurance and SDI mediated racial/ethnic survival disparities for several childhood cancers. Expanding insurance coverage and improving healthcare access in disadvantaged areas may effectively reduce disparities for these cancer sites.
