The influence of the social environment on the risk of suffering and dying from cancer is obviously a global phenomenon, as evidenced by a growing number of studies and books. In part, the underlying mechanisms are universal. Given the availability of a new standardised measure for social deprivation in Europe (the European Deprivation Index), the networking of population-based cancer registries across Europe as efficient surveillance tools, the increasing comparability of the organisation of care in European countries,and the recent launch of Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan, this extensive review of social inequalities in cancer on a European scale is both relevant and timely.
The book consists of 21 chapters organised in four sections:
- Part I – General Considerations and Methodologic Aspects
- Part II – Social Disparities in Cancer Incidence and Survival – Reports
- Part III – Social Disparities in Cancer Incidence and Survival – Mechanisms
- Part IV – Towards an Evidence-Based Policy for Tackling Social Inequalities in Cancer
