To mark World Cancer Day 2024, the Centre for Global Chronic Conditions, Inequalities in Cancer Outcomes Network (ICON), and the Cancer Interest Group are co-hosting a film screening of ‘Beyond cancer/Más allá del cancer’ (2022, 41 minutes, Spanish with English subtitles).
Dr Nina Afshar will open her seminar with a discussion about differences in cancer survival by area-level socio-economic disadvantage in Victoria, Australia and whether these inequalities vary by different factors such as year of diagnosis, age at diagnosis, time since diagnosis and sex.
In this seminar, Marissa will present her research on the associations between socioeconomic status, recurrence and excess mortality in young breast cancer patients in the Netherlands.
In this seminar, Michelle Kelly-Irving will outline the embodiment dynamic conceptual framework used to examine how health inequalities are partly constructed through social-to-biological processes. She will provide empirical examples of the social gradient in biological health and how this potentially relates to inequalities in cancer incidence and progression.
To mark World Cancer Day, join Inequalities in Cancer Outcomes Network (ICON), Centre for Global Chronic Conditions and Cancer Interest Group for the first seminar in a series on Inequalities in Cancer Outcomes.
