Hence this study aimed for understanding this relationship using a nationally representative database. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted using National Inpatient Sample (NIS) data collected during 2010–2016 and included all cancer hospitalization between 18 and 64 years of age.

Results There were 3,580,908 weighted cancer hospitalizations, of which 72,353 (2.02%) had interhospital transfers.
