Watch IARC scientist Dr @Salvax99 present insights into research on #cancer & inequity, & socioeconomic differences in #cancer between & within countries

A new paper by IARC researchers, published today in JAMA, assesses whether incidence of late-stage #cancer could be a suitable alternative end-point in randomized clinical trials of cancer #screening , in place of cancer-specific mortality.

Really looking forward to our IARC coordinated HEADSpAcE Consortium
Annual Meeting this week
- online and in-person DKFZ in Heidelberg, Germany

In almost every #EU country:
People with ↗️ education levels have a similarly low;
People with ↘️ education levels have different, but consistently higher;
risk of dying of #cancer .
These inequalities suggest we can do more to prevent cancer deaths.

#WorldHealthDay #MyHealthMyRight
IARC works on projects to ID🔎🪪, monitor, & address #inequalities related to #cancer , e.g., exposure to risks, accessing screening & diagnostics, inclusion in prevention progs.

#WorldHealthDay #MyHealthMyRight
The large socioeconomic inequalities in #cancer deaths may stem from the sum of smaller inequalities at all stages of the cancer continuum, from prevention, to early detection, to diagnosis, to access to treatment. iarc.who.int/news-events/wo…

#WorldHealthDay
Large socioeconomic disparities in cancer deaths exist between and within countries in #Europe .
Urgent action is needed to reach all segments of the population, particularly the most disadvantaged groups. iarc.who.int/news-events/wo…

#WorldHealthDay #MyHealthMyRight
#Cancer is the leading cause of premature death in most #EU countries.
Socioeconomic conditions are a very important factor explaining the burden of cancer iarc.who.int/news-events/wo…

#WorldHealthDay #MyHealthMyRight
Although effective prevention interventions for lung cancer and cervical cancer exist, these efforts have not addressed socioeconomic inequalities in deaths caused by these cancers.
