ABSTRACT Background There is evidence of socioeconomic inequalities in cancer incidence in Canada and other countries globally, yet there is no study investigating socioeconomic inequalities in national cervical cancer incidence in Canada. Thus, the current study investigated income and education inequalities in the incidence of cervical cancer in Canada from 1992 to 2010. Methods Data were derived from a linked dataset that combined cervical cancer incidence from the Canadian Cancer Registry and demographic and socioeconomic information from the Canadian Census of Population and the National Household Survey. The Concentration index approach was used to measure income and education inequalities in the incidence of cervical cancer over time. Results National incidence of cervical cancer decreased significantly from 1992 to 2010. The age-standardized C was negative for the majority of years for both income and education inequalities, but the preponderance were not significant. Trend analyses of socioeconomic inequalities suggested an increasing concentration of cervical cancer incidence among less-educated females over the study period. Conclusions Over almost two decades, there were no pervasive socioeconomic inequalities in the incidence of cervical cancer in Canada. As such, policies aimed at reducing the incidence of cervical cancer should focus on the general population, irrespective of socioeconomic status.

Introduction Understanding the effects of socioeconomic status on cancer incidence and their trends over time will help inform public health interventions for cancer control. This study sought to investigate trends in socioeconomic inequalities in prostate cancer incidence among Canadian males. Methods Using a census division level dataset (n = 280) constructed from the Canadian Cancer Registry, Canadian Census of Population (1992, 1996, 2001, 2006) and 2011 National Household Survey, we examined the effect of socioeconomic status on prostate cancer incidence among Canadian males between 1992 and 2010. The age-adjusted concentration index was used to quantify education/income-related inequalities in prostate cancer incidence. Results The crude prostate cancer incidence increased from 115 to 137 per 100 000 males in Canada from 1992 to 2010 with a peak in 2007. The rate increased significantly in all but three of four western provinces. The age-adjusted concentration index showed a higher concentration of prostate cancer diagnoses among males living in high-income neighbourhoods in Canada in particular from 1996 to 2005. In contrast, the index was higher among males living in less-educated neighbourhoods in the most recent study years (2006–2010). Conclusions The concentration of new prostate cancer cases among high-income populations in Canada may be explained by the rise of opportunistic screening of asymptomatic males; however, this should be studied in further detail. Since we found a higher incidence rate of prostate cancer among less-educated males in Canada in recent years, risk-benefit investigation of primary prevention and opportunistic screening for less-educated males is advised.

The Impact

5605 Background: The incidence of cervical cancer in the United States has declined since the introduction of the pap smear. However, differences exist based on ethnicity and socioeconomic status (SES).This study aimed to evaluate the impact of nativity, neighborhood SES and enclave (degree of ethnic isolation) on the incidence of cervical cancer in California. Methods: Using data from the California Cancer Registry, comprising three of the National Cancer Institute’s Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) program registries, information on all primary invasive cervical cancer diagnosed in California from January 1, 1990, through December 31, 2004 was obtained. We analyzed the influence of enclave, SES, and nativity on cervical cancer incidence. Results: Among the 22,189 invasive cervical cancer cases diagnosed between 1990 and 2004, 50% were non-Hispanic white (NHW), 39% Hispanic and 11% Asian women. Seventy percent (70%) of the invasive cervical cancer cases were squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), 19% were adenocarcinoma and 11% other histologies. Approximately half (51%) of patients presented with localized disease, 33% regional disease, 10% distant disease and 6% unknown. By ethnic group, US born women showed lower rates of SCC compared to foreign-born women. Seventy-six percent (76%) of invasive cervical cases were observed in high enclave neighborhoods, and seventy percent (70%) were noted in low SES neighborhoods. Hispanics living in low SES and high enclave had 12.7 times (95% CI; 11.2-14.3) higher rate of cervical cancer than those living in high SES, low enclave neighborhoods. For Asian women incidence rates were 6 times (95% CI; 4.9-7.5) higher in the low SES, high enclave neighborhoods compared to those living in high SES, low enclave neighborhoods. Conclusions: More efforts should be done to reach out to and increase pap smear screening for women living in high enclave neighborhoods to help decrease the incidence of invasive cervical cancer cases in these groups of women.
