Social status affects the types of cancer zabolevaniy

The new analysis showed that some cancers are more concentrated in areas with high poverty, while other cancers arise more often in wealthy regions. In addition, districts with high poverty rates have lower rates for total cancer incidence, but increased mortality.





In General, the socio-economic indicators are not associated with the risk of cancer. However, socio-economic status seems to affect what type of cancer can develop in humans. The researchers analyzed the diagnoses of about 3 million people, which were found in tumors between 2005 and 2009 in 16 States.

32 types of cancers of the 39 were associated with low income. 14 of them are positive, 18 cancers were associated negatively. Some types of cancer: Kaposi's sarcoma and cancer of the larynx, cervix, penis, and liver – often in the poorest areas of the country, whereas melanoma, thyroid cancer, other non-epithelial skin cancers often occur in the wealthiest areas. Dr. Francis Bosco: "Diseases associated with poverty have lower levels and higher mortality, and those associated with wealth have higher incidence and low mortality. When it comes to cancer, the poor are more likely to die from the disease, while the rich get the chance to die with the disease".
