Key findings include that older age and male sex were associated with worse survival outcomes. Single patients had better survival than married individuals, likely due to younger age at diagnosis. Additionally, higher income and Asian\/Pacific Islander race conferred a survival advantage. There were disparate impacts between males and females in income, marital status, and race, with higher income and marriage providing a survival advantage for male patients but none for females. Additionally, Black females but not Black males, and widowed females but not widowed males, had slightly increased hazard ratios compared to White individuals.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Men and women experience disparate effects that impact survival and outcomes in major salivary gland tumors.
