Abstract: <p>Introduction: Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common form of childhood cancer. Historical studies have found an association between ALL incidence with higher socioeconomic status (SES), though newer findings are contradictory for this association. Nevertheless, it has been well established that inferior outcomes in pediatric ALL are associated with lower SES. We sought to identify if specific ALL disease characteristics at diagnosis are associated with SES to determine if underlying biology plays a role in the known association between inferior outcomes and lower SES.</p>
