abstract: The impact of socioeconomic status on stage of cancer at diagnosis and survival. Cancer Aug 2, 2010 (does not include ovarian cancer)



"A population-based study in Ontario, Canada"

METHODS:
All incident cases of breast, colon, rectal, nonsmall cell lung, cervical, and laryngeal cancer diagnosed in Ontario during the years 2003-2007 were identified by using the Ontario Cancer Registry.

CONCLUSIONS:
Despite universal healthcare, SES remains associated with survival among patients with cancer in Ontario, Canada. Disparities in outcome were not explained by differences in stage of cancer at time of diagnosis.
