Impact of socioeconomic status on early detection and survival of cancer patients
Description: We investigated impact of socioeconomic status evaluated on the basis of the areal deprivation index (ADI) on early detection and survival of cancer patients using population-based cancer registry data of Miyagi Prefecture, Japan.The proportion of advanced-stage cancer (all sites, stomach, colorectum, lung, female breast) at diagnosis during 1993 and 2010 was higher in the more deprived groups, and in the logistic regression analysis, we observed increases in the proportion of advanced-stage cancer in these groups after adjustment for covariates.Also, five-year net survival of cancer patients diagnosed in 1993-2005 was generally lower in the more deprived groups.
