“Sobering, important work ASCOQLTY26:
Rise in deaths pregnancy-associated deaths among people with cancer over past 8 years.
Lots of questions needed about how the death certificate data was defined, etc – but highlights how important it is to pay attention to this at-risk group.
Key Takeaways: Pregnancy-Associated Cancer Deaths Are Higher in Restrictive-Policy States, 2018 – 2026
- Where you live matters: 60% higher in trigger-law and 26% higher in non-expansion states
- The gap predates Dobbs: Already higher before 2022, with no significant change after
- Race is a separate axis: Black patients had 68% higher mortality overall.”
