Abstract: Social inequalities in cancer are a global problem, as has been well documented inthe World Health Organization (WHO)/International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) publication Social Inequalities and Cancer. Inequalities in income,wealth, education, and power disproportionally impact the most disadvantagedindividuals, communities, and countries to produce a social gradient in the inci-dence, survival, and mortality of many cancers both within and between coun-tries. From April 16 to 18, 2018, the IARC convened a workshop to examinethe current evidence and identify research priorities for reducing social inequalitiesin cancer. International and WHO/IARC experts drawn from many different dis-ciplines presented a series of articles to be published in an IARC scientific publication; extensive discussion in subgroups and plenary sessions resulted in participantsidentifying 3 research priorities.
