Abstract: This chapter provides a historical and global overview on global trends in cancer incidence, disparities, and social inequalities among countries and within countries, with a particular attention given to cancer in children and adolescents. To reduce social inequalities, the author proposes to reexamine research priorities: first, to generate knowledge and monitor progress; second, to expand research focused on prevention; and, third, to focus on equality when implementing and assessing cancer control measures.
