However, whether the universal access has translated into improved patient outcome is unknown. ⋯ Conclusions: The MHS's universal care and lung cancer care programs may have translated into improved survival among NSCLC patients. Impact: This study supports improved survival outcome among NSCLC patients with universal care access. Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev; 27(6); 673-9. ©2018 AACR.
