This contributed volume addresses the link between the social
environment and cancer in Europe. The authors document the wide
range and diverse trends in cancer incidence and patient survival
in Europe, and they identify the main mechanisms and key influences
that underlie these inequalities. They suggest a series of actions
and programmes to tackle these inequalities in Europe, within the
conceptual framework of intervention research. 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 Social Environment and
Cancer in Europe: Towards an Evidence-Based Public Health Policy is
a unique resource that presents up-to-date methods for analysing
quantitative data. It focusses on inequalities in cancer incidence
and survival within the wider framework of inequalities in health.
This book will be an essential reference for policy-makers,
researchers, public health professionals, social scientists and
oncologists.
